<div align="right]Great pressure is required to form diamonds
Intense fire is required to refine steel
Deluges of rain are required to grow flowers
Challenges are required to build Character
that is more precious than diamonds
that is stronger & more durable than steel
and more delightful than flowers
diamonds may be lost
the toughest steel rusts
the loveliest flowers wilt
but
Character Endures Forever
