Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. // George Eliot

To be a star, you must shine your own light. // Napoleon Hill

The past always looks better than it was. It’s only pleasant because it isn’t here. // Finley Peter Dunne

When we have respect for ourselves and others, we gravitate towards connections that encourage that. // Simeon Lindstrom
