The secret
of a happy marriage
remains a secret.

Time never stops to rest,
never hesitates,
never looks forward or backward.
Life’s raw material spends itself now,
this moment,
which is why how you spend your time
is far more important than all the material possessions you may own
or positions you may attain.

use it in every which way possible.
Don’t hoard it.
Don’t dole it out like a miser.
Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

I have my own particular

Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions
