About

"What matters to people is generally far more important than what's the matter with people." Dr. Omar Manejwala “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.” John Wesley “I apologize for such a long letter - I didn't have time to write a short one." Mark Twain "Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted." Albert Einstein
