When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
— Kahlil Gibran in Sand and Foam
When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Take criticism seriously, but not personally. If there is truth or merit in the criticism, try to learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you. Easier said than done.
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.
It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
