"When I was young I set out to change the world.When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,so I set out to change my state.This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,so I set out to change my town.When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeededin changing my family, the town, or even the state-and who knows, maybe the world."
