“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
“When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.”
John Greenleaf Whittier
“Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.”
Bertrand Russell
“Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed.”
