One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?"
The youth replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die."
"Son," the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!"
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man,, he said, "I made a difference for that one."

Hello everyone! Thank you for reading! This quote is probably much longer than most of the quotes that I will put in this book, but I love this quote. My sister is adopted, and I first heard this quote at a party for foster/adopted children. This quote can be applied to starfish, people, and so much more. Let me know if there is a favorite quote that you have! Have a nice day and thank you for choosing to read my book!
