Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
I love those who can smile in trouble,
who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. It is the
business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose
conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto
death.
At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.
Destiny... to believe that a life is meant for a single purpose, one must also believe in a common fate. Father to daughter, brother to sister, mother to child, blood ties can be as unyielding as they are eternal. But it is our bonds of choice that truly light the road we travel... love versus hatred, loyalty against betrayal. A person's true destiny can only be revealed at the end of his journey.
