quote · Legacy record
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess they would stop worrying. Would you sell both your eyes for a million dollars ... or your two legs ... or your hands ... or your hearing? Add up what you do have and you'll find that you won't sell them for all the gold in the world. The best things in life are yours if you can appreciate yourself.
