“Every development is first rejected, then skeptically accepted, next gradually embraced, and at last abundantly praised. Let's put it straight: it's a human trait.”

“There's a difference between apathy and acceptance. Apathy lets you endure life. Acceptance helps you enjoy it.”

“The marvel of being human only reveals itself when we do something for another without personal gain, when we forgive, and when we give abundantly, yet without expectations.”

“It's easier to take than to give. It's nobler to give than to take. The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime.”

“Whatever we embrace will embrace us back: misery or happiness, sadness or joy, guilt or virtue, regress or progress. We are what we choose to be.”

“Life is a constant flux of ups and downsA chain of happy smiles and edgy frownsJust know that the purpose of each despairIs to cherish your next peak when it's there”

“Happiness means different things at different times. First, we think it's about being with a special person. Then we think it's about being special. Finally we find it's about being.”
