This week's Terry Pratchett quote:
“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying.”
― Terry Pratchett
"Amidst the beauty of an old tree's springtime, find gratitude for the gift of life."
- John O'Donohue

Ever hear the story of the Afghan man who lived for 700 years?
On his 700th birthday, the great Amir, Dost Mohammad Khan, threw him a lavish party.
And after all the guests had left, the Amir said in confidence, "I am surrounded by enemies."
"What is your secret to be living in such dangerous place for a long time?"
And the man looked at him and said... "It is easy. Change sides."
"I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I’ll fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through."
Vincent van Gogh
