“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.”

“You must remember always to give, of everything you have. You must give foolishly even. You must be extravagant. You must give to all who come into your life.

And the more you give, the more you will have to give.”
