Random quote of the day:
“Grant yourself a moment of peace,
and you will understand
how foolishly you have scurried about
Learn to be silent,
and you will notice that
you have talked too much.
Be kind,
and you will realize that
your judgement of others was too severe.”
—Ancient Chinese Proverb

Posted by PJ under happiness, quote of the day, sadness
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“There are patterns to life… Rhythms. It’s so easy, while trapped in just the one life, to imagine that times of sadness or tragedy or failure or fear are a result of that particular existence. That it is a by-product of living a certain way, rather than simply living. I mean, it would have made things a lot easier if we understood there was no way of living that can immunise you against sadness. And that sadness is intrinsically part of the fabric of happiness. You can’t have one without the other. Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there’s no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in.

Random quote of the day:
“Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.
—G. K. Chesterton, A Miscellany of Men
