“Human beings are remarkable - at what we can learn to live with. If we couldn't get strong from what we lose, and what we miss, and what we want and can't have, then we couldn't ever get strong enough, could we? What else makes us strong?”

“From what we get, we can make a living. What we give; however, makes a life.”

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

“We all lose sometimes. We fail to get what we want. Friends and loved ones leave. We make a decision we regret. We try our hardest and come up short. It's not the losing that defines us. It's how we lose. It's what we do afterward.”

“We may not get what we want, when we want. But with a bit of perseverance and a lot of patience, we can get what we need.”

“It is so hard for us little human beings to accept this deal that we get. It's really crazy, isn't it? We get to live, then we have to die. What we put into every moment is all we have… What spirit human beings have! It is a pretty cheesy deal—all the pleasures of life, and then death.”

“As we are human, we can't do what we can't do; as we're neurotic, we can't do what we can.”

“Happiness isn’t getting what we want but being satisfied with what we have. The way to be happy is to be grateful even with the simple blessings we have.”

“Happiness is not about getting what we want from the universe, but about how we can gratefully accept what the universe has given us.”

“What we live, makes us what we are.”
