    [-]
    The things that God wishes to happen all do so in their own time.
    If you make others happy, you are well on the road to making them good.
    This life, overflowing with every kind of felicity, deceives many, but God deceives no one.
    No one can grow whose thoughts are self-centered. Be contented.
