My quote is: "Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life". Omar Khayyam

My favorite proverbs are: You have to crawl before you can walk. Wisdom is better than strength.

My aphorism is: Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

And about wisdom: The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
