Blessings Quote by Phil Hartman
““I think in my old age I've come to realize just how precious everything is and I try to value the many blessings that have been bestowed upon me, but there's also this sense of vulnerability if fortune took a turn for the worse and you live with the awareness that anything can happen in this world." (said in an interview the year he died, 1998)””
