true happiness is to enjoy the present
without anxious dependence upon the
future not to amuse ourselves we either
hopes or fears but to rest satisfied
with what we have which is sufficient
for he that is so wants nothing begin at
once to live count each separate day as
a separate life it is not because things
are difficult that we do not dare it is
because we do not dare that things are
difficult we all sorely complain of the
shortness of time and yet have much more
than we know what to do with our lives
are either spent in doing nothing at all
or in doing nothing to the purpose or in
doing nothing that we ought to do we are
always complaining that our days are few
and acting as though there would be no
end of them
a gem cannot be polished without
friction nor a man defected without
trials the bravest sight in the world is
to see a great man struggling against
adversity every night before going to
sleep you must ask ourselves what
weakness did I overcome today what
virtue did I acquire throw me to the
wolves and I will return leading the
pack
life is never incomplete if it is an
honorable one at whatever point you
leave life if you leave it in the right
way it is hope we suffer more often in
imagination than in reality you want to
live but do you know how to live you are
scared of dying but tell me is the kind
of life you lead really any different to
being dead
the greatest blessings of mankind are
within us and within our reach
a wise man is contented with his lot
whatever it may be man is affected not
by events but by the view he takes of
them as is a tail so his life not how
long it is but how good it is is what
matters sometimes even to live is an act
of courage if you really want to escape
the things that Harris you what you're
needing is not to be in a different
place but to be a different person until
we have begun to go without them we fail
to realize how unnecessary many things
are we've been using them not because we
needed them but because we had them he
suffers more than necessary who suffers
before it is necessary
hang on do your youthful enthusiasms
you'll be able to use them better when
you are older it is not the man who has
too little but the man who craves more
that is Paul if a man knows not to which
port he sails no wind is favorable luck
is what happens when preparation meets
opportunity
