Run when you can, walk when you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.

In reality hell is not such an intention of God as it is an invention of man. God is love and people are precious. Authentic truth is not so much taught or learned as it is remembered. Somewhere in your pre-incarnate consciousness you were loved absolutely because you were. Loved absolutely, and in reality, you still are! Remember who you are!

-- Bishop Carlton Pearson, Author, speaker, spiritual leader and recording artist.

It’s relationships, not programs, that change children. A great program simply creates the environment for healthy relationships to form between adults and children.

-- Bill Milliken, Founder and vice chairman of Communities in Schools, author of Tough Love and The Last Dropout.
