About This Quote
A statement that I find very inspiring because I believe that it says something very important about the world that we live in. The author is talking about how it is our responsibility to make sure that all of these things are present in our lives. If we do not make an effort to make sure the world remains clean and pure then without fail our efforts will eventually be unsuccessful. This quote also gives us an idea of what the author feels is important for us to be able to reach these goals.
