Life only begins to be an adventure when we cease living it for ourselves.
-Joel S. Goldsmith
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.

There's nothing more inspiring than the complexity and beauty of the human heart.

-Audrey Niffenegger
Always telling the truth is no doubt better than always lying, although equally pathological.
-Robert Brault

-Maharatnakuta Sutra 27
Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
-John R. Wooden
