Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
Our opening ceremony this year is really exciting.
I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains
I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker - a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.
Where there is hope...there is life
How wonderful it is that no one has to wait, but can start right now to gradually change the world!
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
I have often been downcast, but never in despair;
I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!
