Write or Fight?

A L O H A !



" The test of our progress
is not whether we add more
to the abundance of those
who have much;
it is whether we provide
enough
for those who have 
too little. "

Franklin D. Roosevelt
32nd President of the United States (1933–1945)

great strength, 
and great riches
are really and truly of no great use; 
a right heart exceeds all. "
