"We are to enjoy what we have..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer
We are to enjoy what we have while we have it, but we are never to get to the point where we think we could not love without it.

“I think the perception of peace is what distracts most people from really having it.”
“Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can't comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there's no life and love inside.”
“If you don't like yourself, you're going to have a really hard time getting along with anyone else.”

“He is a good man, who can receive a gift well. We are either glad or sorry at a gift, and both emotions are unbecoming.”
“Every spring I hear the thrush singing in the glowing woods he is only passing through. His voice is deep, then he lifts it until it seems to fall from the sky. I am thrilled. I am grateful. Then, by the end of morning, he's gone, nothing but silence out of the tree where he rested for a night. And this I find acceptable. Not enough is a poor life. But too much is, well, too much. Imagine Verdi or Mahler every day, all day. It would exhaust anyone.”
“I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. I have spent a lifetime doing what I love.”
