Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours. – Marcus Aurelius
No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. – Phillips Brooks
For me its important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time. – John Frusciante
