    Mark Twain ... "You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you realized how seldom they do."

    "Show yourself.
    Be yourself.
    Enjoy yourself.
    Play hard, so that you are in debt to yourself,
    so that you must work hard to repay it.
    Youre not better than anybody else,
    but nobody is better than you."

    -J. Mayer
