― Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals / Ecce Homo

“Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes, and we keep living anyway....”

“The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards. They either help us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves or encourage us to become lesser versions of ourselves. We become like our friends. No man becomes great on his own. No woman becomes great on her own. The people around them help to make them great.
We all need people in our lives who raise our standards, remind us of our essential purpose, and challenge us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves.”
― Matthew Kelly
