Love Expands

You will never ‘find’ time for anything. If you want time, you must make it.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.

The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one person and another-between the weak and the powerful, the great and the insignificant-is energy-invisible determination.

Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay–of hard forethought–of pains–of steadiness–of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price.

You cannot win without sacrifice.

A man’s venom poisons himself more than his victims.

A successful career has been full of blunders.

Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.

In one family, all goes by two and two. If a member of it has any interest, he or she will confide it to some one other; but the rest know nothing. In another family, all feel what touches one; nothing is kept dark from the father and mother, brothers and sisters–all share. This family habit is by far the better, it strengthens the tie between the members, and makes the home one home.

Few things are more bitter than to feel bitter.

The fact is – nothing comes, at least nothing good. All has to be fetched.
