We discover that there are consequences attached to our actions.

I will always be right here.

Martin Luther King, Jr.Left to my own devices, would I trade this for firm thighs, fewer wrinkles, a better memory? On some days. That's why it's such a blessing I'm not left to my own devices.

I'd give up all this for a flatter belly? Are you crazy?
