Quote by Zachariah Renfro

“No man is honored at his funeral with praises of how much stuff he had. No one remembers the man who keeps to himself. The men who are remembered are the great sharers, the charitable souls, and the people who improved the lives of others.”

He would see down to my bones. He would gather my weaknesses up and set them with the rest of his collection, alongside Achilles’ and Ajax’s. He kept them on his person as other men keep their knives.”
