A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.

The gifts we are given in life require the best of us, not merely our best intentions.

Do what is easy and your life will be hard. Do what is hard and your life will become easy.

We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.

The wealthiest place on the planet is the graveyard, because in the graveyard we will find inventions that we were never ever exposed to, ideas, dreams that never became a reality, hopes and aspirations that were never acted upon.

Do something about your life now.

Regardless of what challenge you are facing right now, know that it has not come to stay. It has come to pass. During these times, do what you can with what you have, and ask for help if needed. Most importantly, never surrender. Put things in perspective. Take care of yourself. Find ways to replenish your energy, strengthen your faith and fortify yourself from the inside out.
