Here is a quote I like. It's from my favorite author. I've altered it a bit, which I hope Mr. Vonnegut could forgive:
"Hello, son. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the
winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, son, you've
got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of,son —God damn it, you've got to be kind." -- Kurt Vonnegut, in God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
