Just be yourself and mind your mind! — Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do. Think of the Queen Mary - the whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder. And there's a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder called a trimtab.

Society thinks it's going right by you, that it's left you altogether.

So I said, call me Trimtab. — R. Buckminster Fuller

All broken and beaten and scarred,
Just have one more try - it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard. — Robert Service
