There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval.
-George Santayana
Power invariably elects to go into the hands of the strong. Strength may be physical, or of the heart or, if we do not fight shy of the word, of the spirit. Strength of the heart connotes soul-force. Let it be remembered that physical force is transitory. But the power of spirit is permanent even as the spirit is everlasting.

The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
-Deep Trivedi
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

If your kingdom exists for the doctrine and not for fame or desire, then it will be extremely fruitful. If not, its fruit will be misfortune.
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
-John D. Rockfeller
