Consider that before long you will be nobody and nowhere, nor will any of the things exist which you now see, nor any of those who are now living. For all things are formed by nature to change and be turned and to perish in order that other things in continuous succession may exist. (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, XII, 21)
How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised in anything which happens in life! (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, XII, 13)
When we find ourselves thinking thoughts which in the past, have preceded loss of control, we need to realize the greater danger that lies in relapse. (Food For Thought, 10 July)
Self-pity comes from concentrating on the negative aspects of life. (One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, 9 Jul)
We must get right with ourselves. Once we do, we will have so much to do, we will not have time to keep track of who is wrong. (Iyanla Vanzant, Acts of Faith, 27 June)
- Yesterday I tried to watch the Formula One race from Germany. I think I slept through most of it. Later on I watched the end of the LPGA Women's Open golf tournament. Aun Ji of Korea who never lead for a single hole all week won with a twenty-foot putt on her last hole thus avoiding a playoff. That's about as good as golf can get.
Mr. Dickie
