What's better than good?

Aim above morality. Be not simply good;

be good for something.

All good things...

"Fear less, hope more; whine less, breathe more; 

talk less, say more; hate less, love more; 

and all good things are yours." 

~Swedish proverb

NEVER REGRET!

Never regret.

If it’s good, it’s wonderful.

If it’s bad, it’s experience.
- Victoria Holt



Tranquility...

The more tranquil a man becomes, 
the greater is his success, 
his influence, 
his power for good.

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.

~James Allen

Good is Always Beautiful!

That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, 
but that which is good 
is always beautiful. 
~Ninon de L'Enclos
(1620 - 1705)

Anne de l’Enclos was born in Paris in 1620. Her father always called her Ninon, however, and that was the name she used all her life. Apparently, her mother was an ardent Catholic and her father an Epicurean wastrel. Thus, the first major decision in her life was which parent to emulate. As her name might suggest, her heart belonged to daddy. Biographers note that she was quite precocious and well read in both religion and philosophy by the age of twelve.

IDEAS!

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. 
 If your ideas are any good, 
 you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
