If householder Moulds himself according to the circumstances – just like nature moulds itself according to seasons – and performs his Karma, then only who does this successfully gains in all walks of life. [Rig Veda]

Do not take this material world so seriously because it was always changing. Something very terrible that you take so seriously today is going to change tomorrow. [Radhanath Swami]

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring. [George Santayana]

If we had no winter the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. [Anne Bradstreet]
