"Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see too late the one that is open."

- Rabindranath Tagore

"Mature mental health demands the ability to be flexible. We must be able to continually strike—and restrike—a delicate balance among conflicting needs, goals, duties, and responsibilities. The essence of this discipline of balancing is unlearning and 'giving up' something in ourselves in order to consider new information. ...the pain of giving up can be excruciating. ...while any change from one way to another represents a death of the old way, it also makes room for the birth of a new one."

– M. Scott Peck, M.D.

"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love."

– Henry Drummond
