Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand Albert Einstein Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong, these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history Winston Churchill The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark Michelangelo With every drop of water you drink every breath you take, you ‘reconnected to the sea. Health to the ocean means health for us. Sylvia Earl
