To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is..... Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it.

Once you place that crown of liar on your head, you can take it off again, but it leaves a stain for all time.

Sometimes, it is necessary to step beyond what you have known and to reach for something more.

I wish people had half the honor of dragons.

It's only some rice and beans Captain. It's not like I'm giving you Cara's hand in marriage." - Richard
