The full quote:

Coffee is the common man’s gold, and like gold, it brings to every person the feeling of luxury and nobility.
Where coffee is served, there is grace and splendor and friendship and happiness.
All cares vanish as the coffee cup is raised to the lips.

Sheikh Abd-al-Kadir
In Praise of Coffee

The great lessons from the true mystics, from the Zen monks, is that the Sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one’s daily life, in one’s neighbors, friends, and family. in one’s backyard, and that travel may be a flight from confronting the Sacred. To be looking everywhere for miracles is a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.

Abraham Maslow

In a world where you can be anything.

Be kind.

Great personal style is an extreme curiosity about yourself.

Iris Apfel

Don’t get in a rut, change it up, experiment.

Learn from others and learn from your mistakes because if you’re working hard enough… they will occur.

But most of all… don’t stress and have fun!
