Forgiveness
To understand is to forgive, even oneself
The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself he becomes wise.
Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.
Here is a mental treatment guaranteed to cure every ill that flesh is heir to: sit for half an hour every night and mentally forgive everyone against whom you have any ill will or antipathy.
With a little time, and a little more insight, we begin to see both ourselves and our enemies in humbler profiles. We are not really as innocent as we felt when we were first hurt. And we do not usually have a gigantic monster to forgive; we have a weak, needy, and somewhat stupid human being. When you see your enemy and yourself in the weakness and silliness of the humanity you share, you will make the miracle of forgiving a little easier.

Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

Time
Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods.
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks.
Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.
Times don't change. Men do.
To choose time is to save time.
To fill the hour - that is happiness.
To get all there is out of living, we must employ our time wisely, never being in too much of a hurry to stop and sip life, but never losing our sense of the enormous value of a minute.
To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.
Today I live in the quiet, joyous expectation of good.

Wisdom
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
God helps them that help themselves.
Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes.
Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Happiness is not a reward - it is consequence
