·        It may be that your sole purpose in life is…simply to serve as a warning to others.

• ·        It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth both failed. – Kim Hubbard
  ·        “The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”—Marcus Aurelius
  ·        "Strong character, commanding personality, is only acquired by converting the natural urge of life into the social art of living, by transforming present desires into those higher longings which are capable of lasting attainment."  - Rodan of Alexandria
  ·        "The supremely happy and efficiently unified mind is the one wholly dedicated to the doing of the will of the Father in heaven."
  ·        “I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call "The Physics of The Quest" — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: "If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you." Or so I've come to believe.” – Elizabeth Gilbert
  ·        “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”—Lao Tzu
  ·        "Remember, every act shall receive its reward. Evil results in sorrow and sin ends in pain. Joy and happiness are the outcome of a good life." – Buddhism
  ·        "The keys of the kingdom of heaven are: sincerity, more sincerity, and more sincerity. All men have these keys. Men use them - advance in spirit status - by decisions, by more decisions, and by more decisions."
  ·        “Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
  — Marcus Aurelius
  ·        “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”— Albert Einstein
  ·        "It is through religious experience that man's concepts of ideality are
  endowed with reality."
  ·        “I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.’”—Sylvia Plath
  ·        "There can be no peace in the heart or progress in the mind unless you fall wholeheartedly in love with truth, the ideals of eternal realities."
  ·        “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity.”—John Muir
