I believe that we are here to contribute love to the planet--each of us in our own way.

With each decision, we should be convinced that we're
doing the best we can under the circumstances -- best
for ourselves, best for our family, best for our loved
ones, and, possibly, best for society as well.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others,
and the delight in the recognition.

If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you,
but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe
out that judgment now.

The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness
rather than in its value.

A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort
of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove but, the world may be
different because I was important in the life of a child.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that
you can afford to be stupid with them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
