Quotes to think
about
The true perfection of man lies, not in what man has, but
in what man is...Nothing should be able to harm a man but himself.
Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has is what is in
him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance.

handicap as from advantage and indeed perhaps more.

footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others,
use your heart.
