Favorite Quote:
"you have to accept people for who they are and forgive them for what they are not."- my wisest friend. "clear eyes. full heart. can't lose". "All unhappiness and stagnation result from a feeling that you are at the mercy of the world and the people in it. But what a joy it is, what a major shift to strength and power, when you no longer wait around for others to favor and love you, for other to flatter and reward you. Reward and flatter yourself, favor and love yourself."
