The following words were written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in Crypts of Westminister Abbey:When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world .as I grew older and wiser , I discovered the world would not change ,so I shorted my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country .But it, too, seemed immovable.As I grow into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family those closest to me , but alas ,they would have none of it.And now as I lie on my deathbed , I suddenly realize: if I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family .From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.
