Quote: Richard Rohr

“Success has very little to teach us in the spiritual life, but failure and fiascoes are great teachers. Continual experience of so-called conversion teaches us little, while sin is a great instructor. We learn much more from our pain than from our pleasure. We learn much more from letting go than from holding tight.”
– Richard Rohr, Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go

Dreams & Success – Henry David Thoreau

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he had imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

– Henry David Thoreau
