I'm so happy with what has happened in my life.

A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment.

Walter Bagehot

The innate power you possess to achieve your dreams is immeasurable.

Steve Maraboli

Pain is such an uncomfortable feeling that even a tiny amount of it is enough to ruin every enjoyment.

Will Rogers

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress working together is success.
