“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have.”
