To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.
--- Jim Valvano

Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise.  
--- J.R.R. Tolkien

Kindness in thought leads to wisdom.   Kindness in speech leads to eloquence.   Kindness in action leads to love.    
--- Lao-Tsu
