“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

“The journey of life is like a man riding a bicycle. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. We know that if he stops moving and does not get off he will fall.”
