Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.

---

In the end, it's not what you do for your children but what you've taught them to do for themselves.

---

Maturity is the ability to live in peace with that which we cannot change.

---

Problems are inevitable. Misery is a choice.

---

Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.

---

The real trick is to stay alive as long as you live.

---

Nobody says you must laugh, but a sense of humor can help you overlook the unattractive, tolerate the unpleasant, cope with the unexpected, and smile through the day.

---

When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself fortunate.

---

One of the best ways to measure people is how they behave when something free is offered.

Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.
