A man who texted while driving "I need to quit texting because I could die in a car accident" nearly died in a car accident when his truck plunged off a bridge and into a ravine. Chance Bothe, 21, got a second chance at life — but only after extensive surgery and more than six months of rehabilitation at a hospital in Houston, Texas. The college student was driving his pickup and messaging a friend on Jan. 24, KHOU News reports. After the text admonishing himself for texting, he wrote "b right there." Then his truck veered off a bridge and plummeted 35 feet. Bothe suffered traumatic brain injuries, a broken neck, a punctured lung, compound leg fractures, a fractured skull, sternum and rib fractures, and a fractured face that required reconstructive surgery, according to the report. Doctors had to bring him back to life three times. Now he's preaching the gospel of safe driving.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
