I believe that you control your destiny,
that you can be what you want to be.
You can also stop and say, ‘No, I won’t do it,
I won’t behave his way anymore.
I’m lonely and I need people around me, maybe I
have to change my methods of behaving and then you do it.’

and learn again to exercise his will and his personal responsibility.

The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic;
the passions that we feel expand it,
those that we inspire contract it;
and habit fills up what remains.
* Marcel Proust
As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house,
passion will break through an unreflecting mind.
As rain does not break through a well-thatched house,
passion will not break through a well-reflecting mind.
* Dhammapada
How can I be useful.
Of what service can I be.
There is something inside me.
What can it be?

lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

To give real service, you must add something
which cannot be bought or measured with money.
* Mokshagundam Vishveshwariah
As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and
the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one
of the God who is formless and eternal.
* Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours
is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
* Theodore Roosevelt
I have not failed.
I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
* Thomas Alva Edison
