How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.
Benjamin Franklin

It's all in the journey and it's an imperfect world. Do your best to make sense. Think critically. Decide if it's fact or belief. Respond don't react. And, whether it's the road less traveled or the main drag, chances are good someone along the way has made an observation that might help you. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the stumbling, imperfect experiences of those who have traveled before - or are traveling with - us?

Dave Barry on Housework
The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they'd never clean anything.

Deepak Chopra on Meditation
Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.

James Baldwin on Change
For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
