Quotes to ponder:

"You're riding the bicycle up the hill all the time. In life, everything in life wants you to decay, to be subjugated, to be violated, to be tired, to become a ghost, to roll back down the hill just when you thought you were close to the top."

"A little bit every day compounds. A little push today turns into a big life tomorrow."

"Give first, then receive. It works."
