"There is subtle difference between a mission and a promise. A mission is something you strive to accomplish - a promise is something you are compelled to keep. One is individual, the other's shared. When a mission and a promise are one and the same...that's when mountains are moved and races are won."
Hala Moddelmog
My favorite quote comes from the play/movie "Harvey".
"In this world... you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recomment pleasant."
