Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for,.We are the change that we seek.

Trust the one who can see through; sorrow behind your smile, love behind your anger; and reason behind your silence.

The poor, the uncuccessful,
the unhappy and the unhealthy,
are the ones who are the word
tomorrow the most

Life is too short,laugh when you can, apoligize when you should, and let go of what you can't change and forgive quickly.
