I hope to, one day, become the person my dog thinks I am

Never measure the height of the mountain you're climbing. At the summit, look back and see how small it really is!
A penny saved is a penny earned, but those who do not invest in knowledge will never earn wisdom.

TRUE POPULARITY is measured not by how many hear your loudness,
but by how many strain closer to hear your whispers.

"It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees"
