We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
(John W Gardner)

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born
A time to die
A time to plant
A time to reap
A time to kill
A time to heal
A time to laugh
A time to weep

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to build up
A time to break down
A time to dance
A time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time of love
A time of hate
A time of war
A time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to gain
A time to lose
A time to rend
A time to sew
A time to love
A time to hate
A time for peace
I swear it’s not too late

(The Byrds / The Bible)

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Sometimes you get what you want
Sometimes you get what you need
Sometimes you get what you get

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience;
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.
(Swedish proverb)

Silly is you in a natural state, and serious is something you have to do until you can get silly again.
(Mike Myers)

There is more to life than increasing its speed.
(Mahatma Gandhi)

What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?
(Dr Robert Schuller)

Nature gave us one tongue and two ears
so we could hear twice as much as we speak.
(Epictetus)
