There are a few quotes that I have posted on my facebook page, more to inspire myself than anyone else who might take the time to read them whilst visiting my page. The first is by John Cassis, who wrote " It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." Another is by Elizabeth Sifton : " ... give me the grace to accept... things that cannot be changed, the courage to change things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." I have always strived to avoid the pitfalls that many fall into, in particular living a mundane life, and not following one's dreams and one's heart. I have strived to avoid falling prey to the " relentless momentum of mediocrity."
