It was my delusion and naivety that brought me here.

However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.

See any detour as an opportunity to experience new things.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.
