The same guy is responsible for the following aphorism: "Nature never hurries, yet everything is accomplished."

Yes!! I love that quote!

As someone who unfortunately has a lot of road blocks in their life that's beyond their control, I find great comfort in this quote. Sometimes things are out of your control; instead of fighting and swimming up-stream against the conditions of your life (which is all I've personally done in the last 5+ years tbh), just accept things are they are and let life carry you.. To some degree, things are pre-destined and life feels better when you accept that. It's what life handed you, it is what it is. If you stop trying to fight against those conditions and just let the river of life carry you, it takes so much weight off one's shoulders..

More of my favorite quotes from him that we've shared here.
