“There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.”

“Men of ill judgment ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.”

“No man is hurt but by himself. ...Literally by how he interprets what happens to him. If he focusses on how it could have been better, he will be hurt. If he focusses on how it could have been worse, he will be happy. The same is true for women too.”

“Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.”

“Gratitude bestows reverence.....changing forever how we experience life and the world.”

“We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack. Therefore, rather than grateful, we are bitter.”

“Be grateful for your difficulties and challenges, for they hold blessings. In fact... Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health personal growth, individuation and self-actualisation.”
