There will always be suffering. But we must not suffer over the suffering.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.

The first step is to be honest, and then to be noble.

Winston Churchill

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.
