You and I, I and you.
A single unity.

To rely on our talents is a cause of great loss. When soneone places confidence in his own prudence, knowledge, and intelligence, God, To make him know and see his insufficiency, withdraws from him His help and leaves him to work by himself. This is often why our undertakings miserably fail.

-- St. Vincent de Paul

 Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do.- Coelho

 If pain must come, may it come quickly. I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering. - Coelho

 When you travel towards your objective, be sure to pay attention to the path. The path teaches us the best way to arrive. - Coelho
