The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trials, temptations, disappointments -- all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly. They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it. Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy. Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.
- James Buckham

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely
miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite
certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
- Agatha Christie

The most important thing I have learned over the years

"In Soviet Russia...tabs browser you!
Good lord I'm horrible at those. But seriously, tabs are the shizz-nit. They're the new Coke. Okay, not the new Coke, but maybe when the brought back Classic Coke (which is what they still call it, even though they've not had new Coke for like twenty years). They're like finding ten bucks in your pants. They're like finding ten bucks while you're standing in line at the food court, when you were gonna put it on your debit card but you don't really have any money in the first place, but now that you found ten bucks and your order comes to nine dollars and eighty-three cents, you've got change.

Tabs are that good, baby. Especially in Mozilla or Safari with that popup blocker shit. It's like browsing the nine heavens, or however many there are supposed to be. Like browsing the top of mount Olympus.

You've got change."
-Me, about browser tabs.
