Industry, perseverance, and frugality make fortune yield.

If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self pity, suffering and tears.

Miguel Ruiz

Napoleon Bonaparte

Henry James

Into each life some rain must fall, some days be dark and dreary.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

And then, build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century, with a restoration of a spectacular skyline, which Manhattan, of course, needs. So, that is really the design as a whole.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Aristotle

Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

Leo Tolstoy

In general people feel more relaxed about participating in politics. They aren't frightened as they used to be.
