Peace is its own reward.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.

Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.

You have no idea what it is like to constantly disappoint people. You see it the moment you meet them. You see in their eyes that they expected something so entirely different, and here they are meeting... you.

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.
