Be compassionate ... and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be a better place. Mitch Albom

But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way -- never to be an old woman -- but then -- always to have lessons to learn! Lewis Carroll
