Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.” ~Anthony Robbins

“Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.” ~William Arthur Ward
