Among my people's warriors, we have a saying. "A good death can come through battle, at a place that is remembered. A better death can come through heroism, sacrificing yourself in the saving of others. The best death comes late, after seeing grandchildren born, for then you've also had a life." -From E.E. Knight's Valentine's Rising
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. -Thomas Paine
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out into the street and start grinning "Good morning" at total strangers." -Maya Angelou
