Hi Orly,
It was very nice speaking with you yesterday. I wanted to pass along some inspiring quotes. Look at the first one, from writer and photographer Jacob August Riis.
Take care,
Earl

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”
— Jacob August Riis
(12 January [NS] 1729[1] – 9 July 1797)
“All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”
