Quote of the Day

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
E.Y. Harburg
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Bernie Siegel
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
