Hal Borland "April is a promise that May is bound to keep." Steve Jobs "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." George A. Smith "We must seek the loving-kindness of God in all the breadth and open-air of common life." Lillian Gordy Carter "Middle age is when a person keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons." Agnes Varda "I had flops, I had success." |
