When you get into a tight place, and it seems you can't go on, hold on, for that's just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

a very optimistic view to death :mrgreen:

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel
that you, too, can become great.
