Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.

Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
