Intellect is invisible to the man who has none. Every man is pent up within the limits of his own consciousness, and cannot directly get beyond those limits any more than he can get beyond his own skin; so external aid is not of much use to him. The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us. We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we say. Be completely aware of your pain, but don't allow it to define who you are. Pain is an emotion that passes. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. Don't let yourself be controlled by three things: people, money, or past experience. We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one. The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison. What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.
