not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.

Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,
we develop true regard for ourselves,
and our life will become sacred.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.

when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
