Quotes and Notes #239, July 9—purpose
“A man said to the universe:
‘Sir, I exist!’
‘However,’ replied the universe,
‘The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.’”
—Stephen Crane, “War Is Kind and Other Poems”—
Here’s the news for today. The universe is not going to help you to be happy today. You will have to do that for yourself. The universe is not going to help you to reach your goals. You will have to do that for yourself.
You, and you alone, are responsible for developing your own attitude. Make it a good one.
Share a smile with the universe
Everything is going to be all right
John P. Schulz—“Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days.”
