A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
For the most part we humans live with the false impression of security and a feeling of being at home in a seemingly trustworthy physical and human environment. But when the expected course of everyday life is interrupted, we are like shipwrecked people on a miserable plank in the open sea, having forgotten where they came from and not knowing whither they are drifting. But once we fully accept this, life becomes easier and there is no longer any disappointment.
It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service … Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
— Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955)
