Author Orlando Noel wants to shed some light on issues that seem to be brushed aside or not taken seriously enough by mankind. In Things That Matter he hopes to open the eyes of those that sleep in order that they can see things in a new light. In the words of Henry Wheeler Shaw's character; uncle Josh Billings, "Mans ignorance ain't cause he ain't ever learned nutten; its cause he learned to many things that je's ain't so." "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter." Martin Luther King, Jr. "An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate what you do know and what you don't." Anatole France "I never let my schooling interfere with my education." Mark Twain
