"Take time to work. It is the price of success Take time to think. It is the source of power. Take time to play. It is the secret of perpetual youth. Take time to read. It is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to be friendly. It is the road to happiness. Take time to love and be loved. It is nourishment for the soul. Take time to share. It is too short a life to be selfish. Take time to laugh. It is the music of the heart. Take time to dream. It is hitching your wagon to a star." Anonymous
