Quotes

Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer,

is to have kept your soul alive. Robert Louis Stevenson

I can find no common denominator,

but among those whom I love, I can;

all of them make me laugh. W. H. Auden

The best day of your life is one on which you decide your life is your own.

No apologies or excuses.

No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.

The gift is yours--it is an amazing journey--and you alone are responsible 

for the quality of it.

This is the day your life really begins. Bo Moawad
