Let down your guard

Goals

My Friend Carl

"The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, 1997 reprint, pp. xv–xvi

Amigos

"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

- Dale Carnegie

Troubles

"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." 

- Edmund Hillary, was a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.'

"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.  
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.  
But I've bought a big bat.  I'm all ready you see.  
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!" 

- Dr. Seuss, iconic children's book author.
