Here's a link to the relevant section of the law: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/...05TWDyA:e2351:
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
