We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
