A strong nation, like a
strong person, can
afford to be gentle, firm,
thoughtful, and
restrained. It can afford
to extend a helping hand
to others. It's a weak
nation, like a weak
person, that must
behave with bluster and
boasting and rashness
and other signs of
insecurity.
President Jimmy Carter
Gratefulness brings
joy to my life.
How could I find joy in
what I take for granted?
The moment I stop
‘taking for granted,’
there is no end to
the surprises I find.
David Steindl-Rast
No amount of regret
changes the past.
No amount of anxiety
changes the future.
Any amount of gratitude
changes the present.
Ann Voskamp
Happiness is not
experiencing something else;
it’s continually experiencing
what you already have in
new and different ways.

ReplyDeleteA strong nation exhibits qualities of gentleness, firmness, thoughtfulness, and restraint because it possesses the confidence and stability to do so. This strength allows it to offer support and assistance to others, fostering unity and cooperation on a global scale.
