Endeavors Quotes
-
There is a beginning and end to all life - and to all human endeavors. Species evolve and die off. Empires rise, then break apart. Businesses grow, then fold. There are no exceptions. I'm OK with all that.

It saddens me to observe the plight of our own species; we appear to be incapable of solving our problems.
Yvon Chouinard

Baruch Spinoza
