i-TFTD #177

#177-1. Everybody has difficult years, but a lot of times the difficult years end up being the greatest years of your whole entire life, if you survive them.

-Brittany Murphy

#177-2. Year by year we are becoming better equipped to accomplish the things we are striving for. But what are we actually striving for?

-Bertrand De Jouvenal

#177-3. We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.

-Jimmy Carter
