We are in-charge of our destiny,
by the choices we make in our life...
But when things or situations are
beyond our control...
That's where fate comes in...

So very often, our life is shaped by split second,
seemingly trivial happenstances.

but it must be lived forwards.

to be understood.

In three words I can sum up everything
I've learned about life. It goes on.

Life is a tragedy wherein we sit as spectators for a while
and then act our part in it.

and every little absence is an age.

it is less difficult to know it has begun.

The greatest pleasure of life is love.
William Temple (1628-1699)
There is nothing half so sweet in life
as love's young dreams.

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself.
It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations;
it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
Balzac (1799-1850)
The great tragedy of life is not that men perish,
but that they cease to love.
Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)

than never to have loved at all.
Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)
Love, free as air, at sight of human ties,
Spread his light wings, and in a moment flies.
Pope (1688-1744)
Man supposes that he directs his life and governs his
actions, when his existence is irretrievably under
the control of destiny.

merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.
Schiller (1759-1805)

corrects his defects and makes up for his failings.
Goathe (1749-1832)

but if the distinction is carefully studied, misfortune
often turns out to be good fortune and good fortune to be
misfortune. The wise man learns to meet the changing
circumstances of life with an equitable spirit, being
neither elated nor depressed by failure.

the world together.
