Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
Abraham Lincoln
I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.
Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.
Aesop
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
Agatha Christie
To every problem, there is a most simple solution.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
Alan W. Watts
