This is entirely the best quote I have ever read. Not only is Erma Bombeck one of the funniest satirists of her day. She was a fantastic woman that made us all laugh and smile. Her wit and humor were intoxicating. 

“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me.”–Erma Bombeck
