Aung San Suu Kyi: Principles
What I've learned in life is that it's always your own wrongdoing that causes you the greatest suffering. It is never what other people do to you.

Deciding Our Fate By Our Actions

I'm a bit of a bastard first thing and I can't think with any sort of clarity until I've had strong coffee, the papers and cigarettes. It is awful... Read more...
