What are brief? today and tomorrow.
What are frail? spring blossoms and youth.
What are deep? the ocean and truth.”

Aspire to decency. Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail—as you surely will—adjust your lives, not the standards.

I love this quote, The Color of Truth is Grey because:
1. Life is not black and white and neither is #tax law; this is why the initial answer often is "It Depends".
2. Truth is between two sides of the coin.
