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.
