“The only people who don’t have problems are in a cemetery.”

Whatever you are doing in the game of life, give it all you’ve got.

People fail to understand that unless they are themselves willing to give, they will never receive.

The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.

Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.

So we live; a spirit that broods and hovers over the continual death of time, the lost meaning, the unrecaptured moment, the unremembered face, until the final chop that ends all our moments and plunges that spirit back into the void from which it came.
