None of us is as smart as all of us.
Character: Japanese Proverbs
The reputation of thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour.

"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor...

Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
-Mother Theresa

THE LIFE OF MICHAEL BAUTISTA
"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love." Marc Chagall

"The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep."
"Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there." -- Otomo No Yakamochi
"In search of my mother's garden, I found my own."
