Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
Peace is more of an internal settlement rather than what is visible on the external.

You are not meant to serve time. Time is meant to serve you. Become the master of your now.
