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

SPORTSMANSHIP
Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses. #<Author:0x00007f2efbc8be60>
GRATITUDE
As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don’t think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, ‘I’m probably no better than you, but I’m certainly your equal. #<Author:0x00007f2efbca89c0>
EQUALITY
The most fortunate are those who have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder. #<Author:0x00007f2efbcd1f78>

There’s always going to be bad stuff out there. But here’s the amazing thing - light trumps darkness every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can’t stick the dark into the light. #<Author:0x00007f2efb33a7f8>
OPTIMISM
I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. #<Author:0x00007f2efa7aca08>
COURTESY
A lesson for all of us is that for every loss, there is victory, for every sadness, there is joy, and when you think you’ve lost everything, there is hope. #<Author:0x00007f2efa8ae640>
HOPE
It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. #<Author:0x00007f2efa8c6df8>

FAMILY

OVERCOMING
In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. #<Author:0x00007f2efbd358c0>
