A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

William Shedd

If our mind is still enough, we can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if we remain positive eventually we will see how everything has worked out for the best.

When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.

Peter Marshall
(1902-1949, Clergyman)

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is at their heels.

Bertolt Brecht
(1898-1956, Dramatist and Poet)
