Surrender to hope and you will never loose.
Better to be naive about sin than to be experienced.
Become a durable believer!
You are never quite stuck in life if you remember where you are going.
If you have too much of a good thing, reach for a better one.

Beauty is in the soul of the beholder, as well as the eye.
Retirement represents the last laps of life.
The last laps count as much as the first ones.
Some folks are more selfish in the end than they were in the beginning.
The last laps are the most remembered.
