"The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark." John Muir "Not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." Maya Angelou "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Lord Alfred Tennyson "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." Ralph Waldo Emerson
