The Next Moment
You can plan for a hundred years.
But you don't know what will happen
the next moment.

Where the Light Comes In
I said, "What about my eyes?"
God said, "Keep them on the road."
I said, "What about my passion?"
God said, "Keep it burning."
I said, "What about my heart?"
God said, "Tell me what you hold inside it."
I said, "Pain and sorrow."
He said, "Stay with it. The wound is the place
where the light comes in."
Jalāl al-Dīn Rumi

Until Death Do Them Part
When two people are under the influence of
the most violent, most insane, most delusive,
and most transient of passions, they are required
to swear that they will remain in that excited,
abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously
until death do them part.
George Bernard Shaw

Know Who You Are
You may encounter many defeats,
but you must not be defeated. In fact,
it may be necessary to encounter the
defeats so you can know who you are.
