It is not the level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes are within our power . . . Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. People have to learn sometimes not only how much the heart, but how much the head, can bear. No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently. A lover without discretion is no lover at all.
