“Love and success are not expendable. Someone else's success doesn't make you less successful. Someone else receiving love or praise doesn't mean you aren't loved or praiseworthy. You are not only as good as you are better than someone else.”— Brianna Wiest, amazon.com

“A good life is not measured by what you do, it's about who you are. Not how many people you loved, but how much.
