 Testimonial from Col. George Harvey, Mark Twain's publisher:

+We all have to recognize the tremendous opportunity that we have.  As humans
+we have this rare intelligence, but there is a real danger that we will waste
+it.  Death is certain, but when we will die is totally unpredictable.  We
+could lose our precious human existence at any moment.  With such reflections,
+we must motivate ourselves to do something meaningful right now.  The best way
+to make your human existence meaningful is to really engage in the practice of
+Dharma.  During formal sitting meditation and in between sessions, in
+different ways, be mindful and introspectively vigilant.  Keep constant watch
+on your mind.
