Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.
-James Thurber
Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.
Good judgment comes from experience and often experience comes from bad judgment.
The only real conflict you will ever have in your life won’t be with others but with yourself.
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
