What is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know.

Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us.

An acorn costs nothing; but it may sprout into a prodigious bit of timber.
