Do not grieve. Misfortunes will happen to the wisest and best of men. Death will come, always out of a season. It is the command of the Great Spirit, and all nations and people must obey. What is past and what cannot be prevented should not be grieved for… Misfortunes do not flourish particularly in our lives – they grow everywhere.

Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied or even joyous.

That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor. – Paul Hawken.
