life's journey

Always think of life as a journey to receive a great inheritance.

"Suppose a man was going to New York to take possession of a large estate, and his carriage should break down a mile before he got to the city, which obliged him to walk the rest of the way. What a fool we should think him if we saw him wringing his hands and blubbering out all the remaining mile, "My carriage is broken! My carriage is broken!"
-John Newton (author of Amazing Grace)
