The ambition of most beings is just to stay alive, overeat, spend too much, and avoid hard work. I’m happy that I can achieve much more than that…and we all die sooner or later. A death in service of a great ideal is a fine thing. ↗

Everybody has an angel hiding inside. When you die, your angel comes out. You can die, but not your angel. Your angel never dies. ↗
