health is wealth

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring to peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue and naturally come to him.

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

-Mohandas Gandhi-

Attention to health is life's greatest hindrance  

Starting

Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt, use it-don't cheat with it.

all things truly wicked start from innocence

-Ernest Hemingway-

Old age is like eveything else to make a success of it, you've got to start young :)
