    A life without purpose is a lanquid, drifting thing. Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselfs " This day let me make a sound begining, " for what we have hitherto done is naught.

    There is no such thing as an empty glass, it is either filled with a liquid or with air.There is no such thing as an empty mind, it is either filled with positive or negative thoughts.

    A good friend is not someone who asks what they can do but does what needs to be done.

    A friend is someone who in time of need, walks in and asks, what can I do to help. While others walk out.
