Quotes:
Martin Luther King, Jr.-
-"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
-"A right delayed is a right denied."
-"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."
-"Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better"
-"All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem."
-"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. "
Gandhi-
-"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people."
-"Action expresses priorities."

Albert Einstein-
-"A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem."
-"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
-"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?"
-"Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."
-"Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations."
-"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

Mother Theresa-
-"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."
-"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."

These quotes and lyrics really show a big part about what my life philosophy is, and this is what I'll bring into the project. (I can't figure out how to put photos up yet, but I'll get some up as soon as I figure it out.)
