“All the happiness there is in this world comes from thinking about others, and all the suffering comes from preoccupation with yourself.”
― Shantideva

“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.”
― Anthony G. Oettinger

“Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble dwelling with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, milk and butter of the freshest, flowers at my window, and a few fine tall trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did to me in their lifetimes. One must, it is true, forgive one’s enemies—but not before they have been hanged.”
― Heinrich Heine
