Quotes
You can't change the feathers of a bird, nor the spots on a leopard.
The greatest wisdom is to make the enjoyment of the present the supreme object of life, because that is the only reality, all else being the play of thought and imagination; to wait for something to happen, to anticipate or remember, is folly.
