Quotations
Life
The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho

-Nelson Mandela "Nelson Mandela"
The darkest night is often the bridge to the brightest tomorrow. Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings.
