“What you want to do; let this be your guiding light, forevermore.” - The Universe

“Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.” - Unknown

“The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don't see.” - James Baldwin

“Fear is a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.” - Donald Miller 


“Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. 

They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” 

The farmer said, “Maybe.” 

The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody 

came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” 

The farmer again said, “Maybe.”

The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” 

and the farmer replied, “Maybe.” 

The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. 

Again all the neighbors came around and said, Isn’t that great!” 

Again, he said, “Maybe.”

The whole process of nature is a process of tremendous complexity, usually impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it, ends up good or bad.

You never really know what the consequences of the event may turn out to be, sometimes indifferent, other times bad or good fortune. One should go with the flow of events and stay in equanimity. - Ancient parable
