Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives. - John Adams.

Your sacred contribution in the world is the service to humanity.

We are to give (and take) true love without falling into the narcissistic habit of only trying to take it in.

Most days, I have a slice of toast, then lie in a hot bath for an hour to get up a sweat. I have a sauna at the racecourse and then go and ride. On the way home, I might stop at a service station and have a bar of chocolate and a Diet Coke. And that's it, basically.
