This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

- Rumi

“No man can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to
which may be true.”

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

"The highest quality that a human being can reach is to be independent of the good opinion of others."

- Abraham Maslow

"The gift: The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuse.
No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours. It is an amazing journey and you alone are responsible for
the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."
