Does it even make a difference?

I was speaking to a friend a few weeks ago about how my political frustrations, particularly the way we seem to be throwing Congressional oversight of the Executive Branch out the window, has led me to begin writing publicly on Facebook and I ultimately created a website to blog my thoughts.

I confessed that it was difficult to write about everything that is going on because in addition to the deluge of daily news, my appeals for bipartisan discussion were mostly met with “You’re dumb!” or “You lost!” alongside claims that this is “a fake account” or being asked, “how much do I get paid by Crowds on Demand?”

This led me to wonder aloud whether my writing even made any difference; she simply responded:
“The ocean is made up of drops of water.”

I was very appreciative to hear that response and would like to take an opportunity to share more uplifting quotes about making a difference.  Please provide more if you know any.

• “One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” – John F. Kennedy

• “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – Dr. Seuss

• “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” – Mahatma Ghandi

• “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

• “Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference has never tried to fall asleep with a mosquito in the room.” – Dalai Lama

I will also note that this is not a fake account, nor am I being paid to write my opinions
