Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind. —Henri-Frédéric Amiel

I now know why it's called 'Smart' when we're young, and 'Wise' when we grow old.

DISCOVERY
I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. #<Author:0x00007ff706c466c0>
COURTESY
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it. #<Author:0x00007ff706c2ee80>

SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Good manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them. #<Author:0x00007ff706cc9ea8>
GOOD MANNERS
No soul that aspires can ever fail to rise; no heart that loves can ever be abandoned. Difficulties exist only that in overcoming them we may grow strong, and they who have suffered are able to save. #<Author:0x00007ff706cb2438>
RESILIENCE
The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking, don't settle. #<Author:0x00007ff706d3b508>
PASSION
Grit is not just a simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest and do it again and again. #<Author:0x00007ff706cf8e10>
GRIT
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. #<Author:0x00007ff706ce15a8>
CONNECTION
Two kinds of gratitude: the sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give. #<Author:0x00007ff706d962f0>
GRATITUDE
Gracious acceptance is an art—an art which most never bother to cultivate. We think that we have to learn how to give, but we forget about accepting things, which can be much harder than giving... Accepting another person's gift is allowing him to express his feelings for you. #<Author:0x00007ff706d806a8>
