“Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you
right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.”

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

Have patience—wait, but do not sit idle; work while you are waiting; smile while you are wearied with monotony; be firm while everything around you is being shaken; be joyous while the ugly face of despair grins at you; speak aloud while the malevolent forces of the nether world try to crush your mind; be valiant and courageous while men all around you are cringing with fear and cowardice.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.
