C.S. Lewis on the value of starting where you are:
“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
Marry someone you don’t want to change, who doesn’t want to change you.

Endurance is rare.
