I can't live without activity; I can't be sedentary.
2
Sal Albanese
During my eleven years as a New York City public school teacher, I saw firsthand the impact that poverty has on the classroom.

To have the sense of creative activity is the great happiness and the great proof of being alive.
4
E. F. Benson
