    Confucius
    “Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance.

    But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing.

    Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort.

    But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.”
    ― Kung Fu-Tze (Confucius)

    Betty Smith
    “People always think that happiness is a faraway thing," thought Francie, "something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains - a cup of strong hot coffee when you're blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you're alone - just to be with someone you love. Those things make happiness.”

    Cecelia Ahern
    “Our life is made up of time; our days are measured in hours, our pay measured by those hours, our knowledge is measured by years. We grab a few quick minutes in our busy day to have a coffee break. We rush back to our desks, we watch the clock, we live by appointments. And yet your time eventually runs out and you wonder in your heart of hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades were being spent the best way they possibly could. In other words, if you could change anything, would you?”

    “Like it or not, i was already learning that in the worst and darkest time, I would find specks of light, moments of joy. What I didn't want to learn was the other, harsher lesson - that in life's brightest moments there would also be unbearable pain. p 87”
