06/02/18"The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value." - Charles Dudley Warner

06/11/18"I deal with stress in two ways because there are two kinds of stress. There's stress that you can take care of and there's stress that you can't. The first one, I take care of it as fast as possible, because putting it off always makes it worse. Things that I can't fix? I think about the fact that I can't fix them. I think about why I can't fix them and I come to terms with the fact that this is a problem that I'm not going to overcome and that the world is not a wish granting factory." - Hank Green
06/12/18"Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator and change has its enemies." - Robert F. Kennedy
06/13/18"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity." - Francis Maitland Balfour
06/14/18"She did not talk to people as if they were strange hard shells she had to crack open to get inside. She talked as if she were already in the shell. In their very shell." - Marita Bonner
06/15/18"When you point your finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back at you." - Anonymous
06/16/18"I have come to believe that giving and receiving are really the same. Giving and receiving - not giving and taking." - Joyce Grenfell
06/17/18"Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional." - Unknown
06/18/18"When a thing is done, it's done. Don't look back. Look forward to your next objective." - George C. Marshall
