Favorite Quote:

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." -Mark Twain "This above all: To your own self, be true." -William Shakespeare
