Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.
We are different than others, you feel it. So you are different too, if you are with us.
Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.
Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow
No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.
Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves.
