Favorite saying

• ""I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." -- George Bernard Shaw "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. "Die when I may, I want it said by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow." -- Abraham Lincoln "In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else." -- Lee Iacocca "We all think we are special, and the world will end without us, until we realize that all of us have a replacement waiting. That the sunrise doesn’t care." J Christopher."
