Maya Angelou
Poet, Memoirist

Hippocrates
Physician

It is the same thing which makes us mad or delirious, inspires us with dread and fear, whether by night or by day, brings us sleeplessness, inopportune mistakes, aimless anxieties, absent-mindedness and acts that are contrary to habit."

Wrap it regularly with lots of hugs. Serve generous helpings daily."
