With each passing year, I want to make good choices that make me a better person, help me become a better leader, and make a positive impact on others.”

“The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.”

“A violet in the youth of primy nature, Forward, not permanent--sweet, not lasting; The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more.”

“It is much better to learn the elements of geology, of botany, or ornithology and astronomy by word of mouth from a companion than dully from a book.”

“The true nature of a thing is the highest it can become.”
