CREDO
Then i looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that i had
laboured to do, and behold, all was vanity and chasing the wind, and there was no profit under
the sun.
–Ecclesiastes. Chapter Two. Verse Eleven.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
– Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. PhD
