Just being there for someone can sometimes bring hope when all seems hopeless. —Dave G Llewellyn
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be. —Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. —Aesop
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you. —Neil deGrasse Tyson
May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right. —Peter Marshall
