Life is given to us; we earn it by giving it.
-Rabindranath Tagore
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
-George Bernard Shaw

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
-Jerome K. Jerome
Be at peace with yourself. If you are not at peace with yourself, you are at peace with nothing.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
-John Lennon
God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.
-Issac Asimov
Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.
