The best is the enemy of the good. —Voltaire, writer/philosopher If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, which is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are. —Charles de Montesquieu, writer/philosopher

The future isn’t written in the stars.
