Lord, give us joy in our families, and make us models for the rest.
-Quran
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
Whoever wants to be a judge of human nature should study people's excuses.
-Christian Friedrich Hebbel
It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
-Brian Tracy
The worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
-Nelson Mandela
