 There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life; some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures. |
| Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for. |

| If we fear the unknown then surely we fear ourselves. |
