"The Second Coming"
I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.
-Louis Sachar

Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.
-Ayn Rand
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting.

Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
When life is viewed as good, a bad day is easily absorbed.
-Neil Maxwell
Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
-Bertrand Russell
No one who does good deeds will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live.
The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
-Alfred Adler
