QuoteExperience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.

Aldous Huxley

Life seems to be composed partly of three experiential elements: outrageous fortune, man's will (however led), and God's will (available to all).  We ordinary men will experience life's voyage along any of these paths. It's the suffering or the joy we experience along the way that seems to make the qualitative difference.

Agreed!
