short profile |
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Every great man is unique."
"Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
