As someone once told me, " Do not sit and wait for Heaven on Earth. Get up and MAKE Heaven on Earth."
Or, as another (more Christian) person put it "If I truly understand the ways of Jesus, then there is nothing humanity could say that would make him happier than "There is no need for you to return and make an Earthly Paradise, we did it ourselves."

I have been debating for a while about posting some of my own sayings and credos (besides the St. Patrick's one). The main thing is that, when I put them into words and look at them objectively, a lot of them are probably pretty lousy advice. So take everything below with several grains of salt.
"Don't think of your successes, only of your failures."
"Never focus on how far you have come, only on how far you still have to go."
"Absolute total perfection is the MINIMUM acceptable level."
"Every person must be prepared to take the whole weight of the world on their shoulders, ALL ALONE."
"You, and ONLY you, are responsible for everything that ever has gone, is going, or will go wrong with the world."
"The least you can do is EVERYTHING."
"You have NEVER done, nor suffered, enough; and never can."

"In any bad situation, the most important question is not "How can I fix this?" but "Why is this totally my fault?"
"True selflessness isn't about considering others needs first, it's about considering your own needs last, or, more accurately, about never considering your needs AT ALL."
"The purest form of selflessness isn't self-denial, it's self-destruction."
"Do not treat others as your equals, treat them as your INFINITE SUPERIORS."
"Pain isn't a means to an end, it is the end itself."
"Pain is ALWAYS good, pleasure is ALWAYS evil."
