Strong people alone know how to organize their suffering so as to bear only the most necessary pain. |
Anything was better than nothing. Half-full was better than empty. Ignorance was the lowest form of humiliation and suffering. |
If pain doesn't lead to humility, you have wasted your suffering. |
Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses. |
Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight. |
Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want. |
What I can do, you cannot. What you can do, I cannot. But together we can do something beautiful for God. |
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. |
A lion doesn't turn around when a small dog barks. |
A man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery. |
