Musings about two of my favorite quotes. 1. "Don't live every day as if it were your last. Live every day as if it were your first." — Paulo Coelho (author of The Alchemist, one of my all-time favorite books) 2. "The ultimate measure of a [wo]man is not where [s]he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where [s]he stands at times of challenge and controversy." — Martin Luther King Jr.
