"SERVICE: 
Service to God and our fellow human beings is the key to A.A. success. Helping other alcoholics who need and want help gives us the tolerance and humility necessary to contented sobriety.
Service combats self-centeredness. It reminds us of our powerlessness over alcohol.
Intelligent, unselfish service is the lifeblood of the A.A. fellowship."

– Ed Webster, 1987 edition of The Little Red Book

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were."

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."

- John Wooden

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reasons for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality."

- Albert Einstein

"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
