In Westminster Abbey in England, the tomb of an Anglican bishop had the following words written on it: When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered that the world would not change. I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But, that, too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me. But, alas, my family would have nothing of it. And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realized: If only I had changed my self first, then by example I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may even have changed the world.
