“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,

a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”

They never say: Why were my ideas, my plans not accepted when they were so good? They bring about transformation in themselves and are then loved by everyone and become a number one victorious soul.”

►•Nine requisites for contented living: Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful to others. Faith enough to make real the things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German poet, dramatist and scientist (1749-1832)

Appreciation is like looking through a wide-angle lens that lets you see the entire forest, not just the one tree limb you walked up on. _{Doc Childre and Sara Paddision}

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. _{by Theodore Rubin}
