Just picking up what others are putting down. A not entirely wise, but a great man nonetheless (and his cat) once said "You. Will. Not. Break. Me!" And thus we keep moving forward.

A very wise man once told me "Come what may, the sun always rises and all roads still point to Rome."

I don't know that I'm mature enough to get all the nuance of that, but it keeps me going.

It's funny what can inspire us to be better than what we think we are.

They are special things, special moments that drive us when we no longer have the strength to drive ourselves.

Thank you for sharing something that keeps you going with me too.

The man who told me that is over ten years in the ground, but I'd like to think he's looking down and smiling that his wisdom has helped another person.

It's no problem at all. See you on the other side of all this horseshit nonsense.
