Receipe of life

“Take twelve months and wash them clean of bitterness, greed, pedantry, and fear. Divide each month into thirty or thirty-one parts so that each part suffices for exactly one day. Fashion each day out of one part of work and two parts of joy and tranquility. Add three heaped tablespoons of optimism, a teaspoonful of tolerance, a grain of irony, and a pinch of tact. Pour over the whole a generous portion of love, garnish with a bouquet of small courtesies and serve daily with humor and a refreshing cup of tea.”

-Mrs.von Goethe, NewYear’s wish for her son
