“One couple vowed to never have children; to joyful life, kids for them are burden. Without kids, they can go out anytime; to costly child-raising, they’ll spend no dime. I share the same view when I was single, till I settled and saw my li’l angel. The joy I felt I could not comprehend: “Children are not burden, they are heaven!”
“May all births be doors to a blissful life, for where’s the joy in a destitute life. May all deaths be doors to an endless life, for where’s great joy in a temporal life.”
“Yesterday’s a time for remembering all good memories for inspired living. Yesterday’s a time for examining all bad acts I’ve done for better living. Yesterday’s a time for considering all the good I’ve got for thankful living. Yesterday’s the best time to do these things: “It’s my birthday, a salute to living!”
“No one’s brainless, only no interest; all are genius in things they do like best, like the boy whose school grades are terrible, but excellent where his heart is—football.”
“Think of good moments and you will cheer up; think of sad moments and you will tear up. Think of funny moments and you will laugh; think of unjust moments and you’ll boil up. Think of a lemon and you will drool up; think of a cheese cake and you’ll hanker up. Think of success and you will be pepped up; think of failure and you will be dampened up.”
“Who in this world can avoid enmities? Some, at birth, already have enemies. Ours a most complex politics of life: “One slight slip of tongue and there goes a strife.”
“HAPPINESS IS FEELING—simple and plain. It comes when triggered like the joy and pain: “When you trip and fall, it triggers a pain; when pain eases, joy’s triggered back again.” You want to be happy? Create triggers! “Eat good food, look at life’s many wonders, read good books, see movies that bring laughter.” Oh, the list’s long—triggers are everywhere!”
“Can life be fully life without music? Can spirits fly without the tune’s magic? Make a world without love, my heart will sigh! Make a world sans music, my soul will die!”
“If you believe you were born—“TO BE SERVED,” there’s this self-pity each time you’re not served. But if you believe you were born—“TO SERVE,” there’s this self-fulfillment each time you serve.”
“Cigar each day, the lung poison builds up. Liquor each day, the liver poison builds up. Junk food each day, the food poison builds up. Cocaine each day, the brain poison builds up. Thank God He put great strength in each organ: “You will need years to make them crumble down.” However, God also put a limit: “Point of no return when build-up hits it!”
“In the end, HAPPINESS is just simply: “What we wanted to see is what we see.” And inversely, SADNESS is just simply: “What we didn’t want to see is what we see.”
“How can a man with just “ONE SMALL TUMMY” be owning vast farmland for his only. How can a man with only “ONE BODY” be owning a mansion with rooms thirty. How can a man with just “ONE PAIR OF HANDS” be owning more than his grasp can balance. How can a man with only just “ONE LIFE” be owning what thousands of years can’t wipe.”
“The earth is one big ball of paradise— so beautiful that death we most despise. But ruin came through man’s imperfection— so ruined, death becomes consolation.”
“Does sexual satisfaction require wealth? Does visual satisfaction require wealth? Does mental satisfaction require wealth? Does hearing satisfaction require wealth? In all our senses rests our greatest wealth; you won’t trade them for anything on earth. Till our senses are perfectly working, breathing alone is cause for rejoicing.”
“Dog’s antics awe them, dog’s trainer awes me. Kid’s manners awe them, kid’s parents awe me. Grad’s learning awes them, grad’s teachers awe me. Town’s progress awes them, town’s leaders awe me.”
“Vatru u drugima može zapaliti samo onaj tko sam izgara.”
“The darkness cannot fight a lit candle; but it can wait for candle to dwindle. The weeds cannot win against farmer’s care; but they can wait for farmer’s care to wear. The thieves cannot act with the cops around; but they can wait for cops to end their round. The devils cannot overcome a saint; but they can wait for the saint’s faith to faint.”
