You don't have to turn this into something. It doesn't have to upset you. Things can't shape our decisions by themselves.

Let your one delight and refreshment be to pass from one service to the community to another, with God ever in mind.

Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man - yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within; there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.

Live each day as if it be your last.

A man is a little soul carrying around a courpse.
