to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived,

It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

will matter in a hundred years.
Think carefully about what you can focus on today.
Choose tasks that will actually make a positive difference
to your great-grandchildren.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
