A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Linger in the beautiful
Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.

Perspective
A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

Look for the helpers
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.

In light of recent events
This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, ‘The good outnumber you, and we always will’.

Go easy on yourself

The magic of reading
The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – that you’d thought special, particular to you.
And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead.
And it’s as if a hand has come out and taken yours.

Keep it up, results will come!
When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know… it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
