Each of us is of infinite value,
and each of us has the ability to make
a profound difference in the lives we touch.

without taking time for self-renewal and play,
abandons the joy and the true value of life.

have caviar for breakfast and oatmeal for dinner,
wear a purple coat with a red hat - dance lightly with life.
