In order to please others, we loose our hold on our life's purpose.
Do not laugh much or often or unrestrainedly.
Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.
If a man is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault, for God made all men to be happy.
Act well your given part; the choice rests not with you.
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
