I am still learning.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

I live and love in God's peculiar light.
- Michelangelo quotes

There is some kiss we want with our whole lives,
the touch of spirit on the body.
–Rumi

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

Joseph Joubert

Viktor Frankl
