Quotes to ponder:

“The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big.”

“It’s better to be an example of someone living a powerful life than to live small in order to make other people feel comfortable around you.”

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
