— Maya Angelou
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will
be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles
these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that
regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your
life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned
that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with
a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that
whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned
that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach
out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned
that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will
forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
— Maya Angelou

I wish it need not have happened in my time
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to
decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1))
