“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation.

To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” – L.P. Jacks, Educator

“Every relationship is one of give and take. Giving engenders receiving, and receiving engenders giving. What goes up must come down; what goes out must come back.

And if you stop the flow of either, you interfere with nature’s intelligence.” – Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
