It is doubtful that everything in life will go the way you want because life has a very bad habit of either taking back directly or in some other form what it has given to you! It gives you success, takes away your health, gives you the house you want, brings you the neighbour you don't want, raises your professional position, lowers your peace, etc. While everything is going great, keep your guard up!”

“Nature has two powers: Her own physical power and the spiritual power of her beauty!”
