Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~ Charles W. Eliot ~
The greatest adventure
is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes
are all yours to make.
The mold of your life
is in your hands to break.
