"We have very busy lives--or we make them very busy. There is noise and activity everywhere. Few people know how to be still and find a quiet place within themselves. From that place of silence and stillness the creative forces emerge. There we find faith, hope, strength, and wisdom. Since childhood, however, we are taught to do things. Our heads are full of noise. Silence and solitude scare most of us."

~Isabel Allende

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." ~Buddha

You can quote Albert:

"It's not that I'm smart, it's just that I stay
with problems longer."

Albert Einstein
