"The Second Coming"
If you can always smile at life, life will always smile at you.
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely that good consists in maintaining, assisting, and enhancing life, and that to destroy, to harm, or to hinder life is evil.
After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, We live a little while. We die.

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
-Hans Christian Anderson
Life should be full of colours! And each colour is meant to be seen and enjoyed separately, for if seen all mixed together, they will appear all black. Similarly, in life, different roles played by the same person should exist peacefully and distinctly inside him. Lift your spirit with the joy of colour.
Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
