Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
                        -- Confucius

He is a man of sense who does not grieve for what he has not, but 
rejoices in what he has.
                        -- Epictetus

Life is not a March; it is Rock and Roll.

It's never crowded along the extra mile.
                -- Wayne Dyer
