Don't aim at success.
The more you aim at it and make it a target,

to a cause greater than oneself.

the actions we take.

is a greater gift than a steak dinner served brusquely.

Both at once can produce unbearable turmoil.
- Robert Heinlein

the greater part of his life getting his living.

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.
Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence
is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
to flow in my direction.
