"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." - Albert Pine
’you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too -- even when you’re in the dark.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Everything you do, every decision you make, effects the course of your future, even if it's small.
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: Am I or the others crazy?-Albert Einstein
