“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis

Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

We can’t go back and change the past, but we can change the future. It is our daily decisions to do what is right that will make the difference.
