2. Ordered Sharing
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
Remember you are just an extra in everyone else's play.
