'To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!'

---Ralph Waldo Emerson

The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones.

William Shakespeare---Julius Ceasar

I have a feeling deep inside every man there's something no one but he can achieve. And then it's a matter of discovering what your personal somethng is. Some find it quite early in life. Others drive themselves to distraction trying to find it. And others learn to be patient and prepare themselves for the day when, suddenly, they'll recognise it. Like an actor waiting for his cue.

Andre Blank---A Dry White Season
