"When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere"

My soul spoke to me and said,
"Do not measure Time by saying,
'There was yesterday, and there shall be tomorrow.'"
And before my soul spoke to me, I imagined the Past as an epoch that never returned, and the Future as one that could never be reached.
Now I realize that the present moment contains all time and within it is all that can be hoped for, done and realized.
Kahlil Gibran.

There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just mean you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.” ~Laurell K. Hamilton (Incubus Dreams)

Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget.
We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody.
So, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.
Andre Maurois
