Here I am.

In strange ways hard to know gods come to men.
Many a thing past hope they have fulfilled,
and what was looked for went another way.
A path we never thought to tread God found for us.
Edith Hamilton - Mythology

By cultivating the beautiful
we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers,
as by doing good
we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Robert A. Heinlein

We are here to help each other
get through this thing, whatever it is.
Kurt Vonnegut

Each friend represents a world in us,
a world not possibly born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting
that a new world is born.
Anais Nin

The trick is in what one emphasizes.
We either make ourselves miserable,
or we make ourselves happy.
The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda

Never refuse any advance of friendship,
for if nine out of ten bring you nothing,
one alone may repay you.
Madame de Tencin

Float like a manhole cover,
sting like a sash weight.
(Apologies to Muhammad Ali)

There you are.
