“If you expect a difference, make one. If you want a miracle, be one.”
- “...Anyone can speak, a few can lead, but only a rare person can inspire....”
- “...Sir - thanks for your kind note - still vividly remember your talk w/ the Cadets and how you got them (and me) thinking about bigger things...”
- “...I am a better man for having been in your presence...”
- “...I hope I've earned the life I've been given. Thank you dear spirit for helping me see the light...”
- “...Your talk made me think about who I am and what I am doing every day - I thank you for that!...”
- “...Captain George has easily proven to be the most articulate and fascinating. It's not just a narrative...he takes you WITH him...”
- “...Wow! You can change our outlook on our day with some of your amazing stories... It is obvious that your mission on earth was not yet fulfilled “on this side”...”
