Freedom is the only worthy goal in life.
It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.
Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.
– Epictetus
Rabindranath Tagore – clouds
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.”
Nelson Mandela – freedom
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
Charles Darwin – change
“It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”
Leonardo da Vinci – time present
“The water you touch in a river is the last of that which has passed, and the first of that which is coming. Thus it is with time present. Life, if well spent, is long.”
Reinhold Niebuhr – serenity prayer
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.”
