“A people without children would face a hopeless future.

A country without trees is almost as helpless.”

“The day the child realizes that all adults are

 imperfect,

he becomes an adolescent;

the day he forgives them,

he becomes an adult;

the day he forgives himself,

he becomes wise.”

The motivational message and 

Motto of The Graham Johnson Cultural Arts

 Endowment is 

"Life Is For The Living"

" Strong people are made by opposition like 

kites that go up against the wind. "

" Keep your face always toward the sunshine 

and shadows will fall behind you."

" I am so tired of waiting,

Aren’t you,

For the world to become good

And beautiful and kind? "

" The healthiest response to life is joy. "
