Today I know that I cannot control the ocean tides. I can only go with the flow… When I struggle and try to organize the Atlantic to my specifications, I sink. If I flail and thrash and growl and grumble, I go under. But if I let go and float, I am borne aloft.
The Daily Guru
It is pointless to get your knickers in a twist if a certain person fails to react the way you want. It is best to avoid people and situations that you know drive you crazy. Remember to vote with your feet. If a situation is untenable or unchangeable, walk away.
from Life Was Never Meant to be a Struggle, by Stuart Wilde (see works by Stuart Wilde )
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish Playwright (see works by George Bernard Shaw )
You can tell them that you can't change the direction of the wind. But you can control the setting of the sails.
Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross (see works by Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross )
While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.
Benjamin Franklin (see works by and about Benjamin Franklin )
