The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.

– Steve Jobs
Lives of great men all remind us

And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
