“Hold fast the time!  Guard it, watch over it, every hour, every minute!  Unregarded it slips away, like a lizard, smooth, slippery, faithless, a pixy wife.  Hold every moment sacred.  Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.”  –  Thomas Mann

“Care and have empathy for those who are different or less fortunate. Have fun and love often. Find wonder and beauty. Know gratitude.” – Orrin Devinsky

“Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.”  –  Victor Hugo
