Our main business is not to see dimly what lies at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. Have more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest. William Shakespeare Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
People forget that it is the eye which makes the horizon.
We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
