situation; it doesn’t originate from the person; it emanates from intelligence.
~Francis Lucille

If I keep from meddling with people,
they take care of themselves.
If I keep from commanding people,
they behave themselves.
If I keep from preaching at people,
they improve themselves.
If I keep from imposing on people,
they become themselves.

The way to use life is to do everything through being.
