To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.

The darkest night is often the bridge to the brightest tomorrow. Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings.
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring.
There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.
