Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%.

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
-George Bernard Shaw
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
A disciple in training will comprehend this earth, the realm of death and the realm of the gods. A disciple in training will investigate the well-taught Path of Virtue, even as an expert garland-maker picks flowers.
For which of you desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
If you search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.
-Robert Brault
