-- Jim Rohn

You only live once -- but if you work it right, once is enough.

If someone decides to hold on to their negativity, no amount of analyzing or reasoning can ease the situation. At such times, only patience and more patience will help a closed mind gently unfurl itself.

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
