I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done. – My mom

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. – My mom

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. – My mom

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. – My mom

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 dont you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
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.

He who lies to himself, has lost all self respect. Danie
