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. The law of love could be best understood and learned through little children. We can only be ourselves. There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth. It is not enough to be a good person; one must also be a good citizen. |
