Strength Is Happiness.

The Darker The Night, The Nearer The Dawn. Victory In Life Is Decided By That Last Concentrated Burst Of Energy Filled With The Resolve To Win.

It Is Impossible To Build One's Own Happiness On The Unhappiness Of Others. This Perspective Is At The Heart Of Buddhist Teachings.

Life Is Painful. It Has Thorns, Like The Stem Of A Rose. Culture And Art Are The Roses That Bloom On The Stem. The Flower Is Yourself, Your Humanity. Art Is The Liberation Of The Humanity Inside Yourself.

Anyone Who Has Ever Made A Resolution Discovers That The Strength Of Their Determination Fades With Time. The Important Thing Is Not That Your Resolve Never Wavers, But That You Don't Get Down On Yourself When It Does And Throw In The Towel.

Freedom Doesn't Mean The Absence Of All Restrictions. It Means Possessing Unshakable Conviction In The Face Of Any Obstacle.
