"My personal goal in everything I involve myself with is described in this statement.....Better to Best.....I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do for any fellow being, let me do it now.....as I shall not pass this way again. I have found that if you love life, life will love you back"
