God is ready to give more quickly, and to give more than you ask yea, he offers his treasures if we only take them.

Jane Porter
Image
And some of your elders remember pleasures with regret like wrongs committed in drunkenness. But regret is the beclouding of the mind and not its chastisement. They should remember their pleasures with gratitude, as they would the harvest of a summer.
Khalil Gibran
