If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
I believe that life is a journey towards God, and that no one has the right to insist that you go a certain road.
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
