"We grow neither better nor worse as we get old, but more like ourselves." ~ Amish Proverb

 

"I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn't guarantee that others will be good people, too. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept ' them or walk away."
