In the beginning there was nothing. God said "Let there be light." Now there was nothing, but you could see it better.

"Wealth", said H.L.Mencken a long time ago, "is any income which is at least $100 more a year than the income of one's wife's sister's husband."

Another one from Dr Seuss:

""Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.""

""Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.""

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as 'Dr Seuss'

The quotation, by the way, is from C.S.Lewis. For your contemplation.
