The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Be curious, not judgmental.
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
