The best way to keep your word is not to give it.
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. If you want to be happy, be. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity. There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth. Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them. It is not enough to be good. You have to be good for something. The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience. |
