Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Life is a series of experiences,
each one of which makes us bigger,
even though it is hard to realize this.
For the world was built to develop character,
and we must learn that the setbacks
and grieves which we endure help us
in our marching onward.
The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,
but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.
Happiness always looks small
when you hold it in your hands ...
But when you learn to share it ,
you will realize
how big and precious it is!!
