Β«Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.Β»
— A. A. Milne (Winne The Pooh)
Β«Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said “Do you need help?” and the man said “God will save me”. Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said “God will save me”, then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, “God, why didn’t you save me?” and God said “I sent you two boats, you dummy!”Β»
