“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”
― James Patterson, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

“It amazes me how people are so afraid of what can happen in the dark, but they don't give a second thought about their safety during the day; as if the sun offers some sort of ultimate protection from all the evil in the world. It doesn't... Daylight won't protect you from anything. Bad things happen all the time; they don't wait until after dinner.”
― Katja Millay, The Sea of Tranquility

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.”
― Muhammad Ali

“The heavy heart is caused by the creation, and so the antidote is to rise above the creation and exalt the Creator: “Glorify the praises of your Lord.” And then the second part of this prescription is to prostrate–to humble ourselves and submit to God. This is the heart’s greatest healing.”
