Occasionally I hear words that ring so true it stuns me, yesterday I heard this

"When two people live together, they can only be as happy as the unhappiest of the two"

This is why I'm sooooo happy to be single

What wise words ave struck a chord with you and made you realise something about your life and happiness?

There's a few I like but this one really changed my perception on life a bit

'A man who _iews the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of life'

I used to perceive change as a bad thing. People always say 'you've changed' as if it is a bad thing. I've since realised its not and I'm starting (and have) outgrown people.

I'm grateful for the different _iew I have on life now but at same time am a little sad I wasted time with my previous perception

Always try to treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

Apologise if you are in the wrong, but never if you believe you are in the right.

It’s better to feel a bit foolish at times rather than to be a fool all the time.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
