"Youth is not a time of life---it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." -- Author Unknown

"I expect to pass this through this world but once. Any good I can do, or any kindness that I can show, let me do now, for I shall not pass this way again." -- Author Unknown
