Today is the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack the world has ever seen. So many lives were lost. So many more changed forever. It's difficult to imagine how different the world would be now if those two towers were still standing.
Ten years ago, I was 16 and came home from school one day to images of utter devastation. In a couple of hours, the world as we knew it had changed forever.
I don't think anyone who saw those images will ever forget them. They are burnt on our retinas. The feelings of that day still seem as fresh and as unreal.
Today I want to share three quotes to commemorate that awful day.
"We acquire the strength we have overcome."
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
"Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant." (Horace)
"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
(Martin Luther King, Jr.)
