Sometimes in life, we make the greatest forward progress by going backward.
from The Clash of the Cultures book by John C. Bogle

The goodness or the cruelty? Your life will be decided by that choice.

You come into this world with nothing and you go empty-handed. The wealth of life lies only in how you have allowed its experiences to enrich you. Filth can blossom into the fragrance of a flower. Manure can transform itself into the sweetness of a mango. No adversity is an impediment if you are in a state of conscious response. No matter what the nature of the situation you are in, it can only enhance your experience of life, if you allow it to.
from Inner Engineering book by Sadhguru
