COPERTHWAITE: It's hard to know . . . that sort of thing usually has to be taken on faith. You live the best life you can, but you don't know whether what you do will make the world a better place . . . in fact, it's presumptuous to think that your little effort will do so. Yet, at the same time, it is important to see that your little bit may be just the amount needed to turn the balance. You have no way of knowing how much your weight will tip the scales, but you can choose which side it goes on.

And don't forget. . . if you write and just ask for information, it's only polite to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope and/or a dollar for Bill's trouble. Coperthwaite has dedicated everything he has to his life's work and his resources are always stretched thinner than—probably—you can possibly imagine.
