“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“Go in peace. Mizpah.” “Mizpah? I know what that means.” “Tell me, son,” he said, biting on his lower lip. “The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.”

“Know what you can change from what you can’t, and you’ll live a happier, more peaceful life. This view is not pessimistic—it is pragmatic. It acknowledges that the world is a difficult and complicated place to live in. The more you view the world as a harsh and unforgiving, the more defeated you will feel. The more you view the world as friendly and safe, the more naïve you will be.   See it as it really is. Don’t kid yourself or others. Don’t judge other people based on standards you invented—accept them for who they are.”

“When we dematerialize our lives, we are admitting to ourselves the real world in which we live. We are facing reality headfirst and not distracting ourselves with smartphones or excess goods. We’re saving time to enjoy quality meals, vacation time and our children and families.”
