Snippets that have spoken to me lately:

"Fear less, hope more,
Eat less, chew more,
Whine less, breathe more,
Talk less, say more,

those swedes

My favorite swedish proverb is

There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.

It's a little less profound than yours, but I find it useful in deploying against those who should be whining less and breathing more chilly air.

Haha! I so agree. Being completely enamored of the winter, I'm always confused when people complain about the weather and fail to see how *beautiful* and refreshing it is. They just need warmer, drier socks. Colorful toe socks, in fact.

I love Rumi's poetry. He is teh awesome.

Ohmygodz, Rumi melts me.

I just got a great big collection of his poetry and I'm very much looking forward to immersing myself in it for the next few days.
