As we journey through life, choose your destinations well, but do not hurry there.

Wander the back roads and forgotten paths keeping your destination in heart like the fixed point of a compass.

Seek out new voices, strange sights, and ideas foreign to your own. Such things are riches for the soul.

And if, upon arrival, you find that your destination is not exactly as you had dreamed, do not be disappointed.

Think of all you would have missed but for the journey there, and know that the true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at journey’s end, but in who you come to be along the way.

     The art of life is to live in the present moment, and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God Himself.

—Emmet Fox

    
Take time to work – it is the price of success.
Take time to think – it is the source of power.

Take time to play – it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read – it is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to be friendly – it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream – it is hitching your wagon to a star.

Take time to love and be loved – it is a god-given privilege.
Take time to look around – the day is too short to be selfish

Take time to laugh – it is the music of the soul.

     The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been kindness, beauty, and truth.

—Albert Einstein
