Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.

A Friend Like You
Is Almost Too Good To Be True

The Laughter, the Tears
We have been through them over the Years

The Time We Have Shared
No One Could Compare

The Lessons We Have Learned
The Times We Have Been Burned

The Moments Together We Have Made
Those Will Never Fade

Our Friendship Can Only Grow Stronger
And The Years Hopefully Longer

The joy is that we can take back our bodies, reclaim our health, and restore ourselves to balance. We can take power over what and how we eat. We can rejuvenate and recharge ourselves, bringing healing to the wounds we carry inside us, and bringing to fuller life the wonderful person that each of us can be.

- John Robbins

If there is one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another, it is a brave man, -- it is the man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil.

- James A. Garfield
