As you develop, little by little is born in you a new body that is intended to connect you to all of life.

None are less likely to lend an encouraging word, a helping hand, or to offer a supporting smile than those who feel sure the whole world, and everyone in it, runs in their debt... and therefore aren't entitled to any more consideration than is convenient to give.

Allowing the rushed state of another person to push you into an anxious state of mind is like letting the horse you're about to ride convince you to wear the saddle!...
