The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created—created first in the mind and will, created next in activity.
The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.
Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
