Jonathon Grissom Poems

"The first thing I look at each morning is a picture of Albert Einstein I keep on the table right beside my bed.

I believe we are here to do good. It is the responsibility, of every human being to aspire to do something worthwhile, to make this world a better place than the one he found.

— Armand Hammer, American business manager and owner, physician (1898-1990)
