    Judith McNaught
    “There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others.

    Maya Angelou
    “There were people who went to sleep last night,
    poor and rich and white and black,
    but they will never wake again.

    And those dead folks would give anything at all
    for just five minutes of this weather
    or ten minutes of plowing.

    So you watch yourself about complaining.

    What you're supposed to do
    when you don't like a thing is change it.
    If you can't change it,
    change the way you think about it.”
    Maya Angelou
