“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.

― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
― John Holmes

“It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
