Mark Twain
“To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.”
Mark Twain

Goldie Hawn
“If we can just let go and trust that things will work out they way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.”
Goldie Hawn
