• ·       Start by removing. Go to the core of life. Finish by expanding. Life is limitless. - Maxime Lagacé

  ·       Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being. - Johann W. von Goethe

  ·       I respect people enough to let them live their lives.

  ·       "Ethical and moral beings can learn how to live in accordance with the golden rule."

  ·       Only one life, that soon is past. Only what’s done with love will last.

  ·       “I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find that you're not, I hope you find the strength to start all over again.” ~ Eric Roth

  ·       “In our everyday lives we have this impulse to shield ourselves and others from the truth. We’ve become impervious to obvious signs of decay. We encourage ourselves by ‘not dwelling on it’ and by employing positive affirmations.

  We celebrate our birthdays by blowing out candles, ignoring the fact that the extinguished candles could equally be seen as a reminder that we are a year closer to death. We celebrate the New Year with firecrackers and champagne, distracting ourselves from the fact that the old year will never come back and the new year is filled with uncertainty—anything can happen.

  When that ‘anything’ is displeasing, we deliberately divert our attention, like a mother distracting a child with rattles and toys.”
