The first serving of any punishing wish or act towards another
always goes to the one who dishes it out! -- Guy Finley One thing we can do is make the choice to view the world in a healthy way.

The only peace, the only security, is in fulfilment -- Henry Miller
We are really advocates of just getting as happy as you can be — which takes care of everything. Even if you don't have reason to be happy — make it up. Fantasize it.

Behold, the thing I fear has come to visit upon me — Job, Old Testament

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see
too late the one that is open -- Alexander Graham Bell Most of the time, we fall in love but can’t remain there. The world then calls the state we were in a delusion or infatuation...

We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight,
not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth!
