We are used to cleaning the outside house, but the most important house to clean is yourself - your own house - which we never do.

The perfect antidote to envy is not, as you may suspect, perfect success. The perfect antidote to envy is self-love - when you know deep inside that you are on the absolutely right path for yourself, or you are in the process of uncovering what that path is, and you are doing the best you can right now given all the external and internal parameters.

Susan Page

Humor is an antidote to all ills.

Patch Adams

Whoever fails to turn aside the ills of life by prudent forethought, must submit to fulfill the course of destiny.

Friedrich Schiller

We dream of the perfect wave, the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect love, and when we get there, we dream of something else, and the journey goes on.

Rob Machado

Life has, indeed, many ills, but the mind that views every object in its most cheering aspect, and every doubtful dispensation as replete with latent good, bears within itself a powerful and perpetual antidote. The gloomy soul aggravates misfortune, while a cheerful smile often dispels those mists that portend a storm.

We dream of the perfect wave, the perfect job, the perfect house. When we get there, we dream of something else.

Rob Machado

If we're trying to get the perfect house, the perfect relationship or the perfect job, it's likely there's some kind of fear driving us beyond the natural wish to improve. It's really the refusal to acknowledge that life - including ourselves - is simply not perfect.

Roger Housden

Reality TV is the perfect antidote to people who don't have enough self-centered douchebags in their life.

Dana Gould

I'm sure nobody wants to know this, but my husband does all the cleaning - rather too much cleaning. It is too clean, the house!

Harriet Harman

My life is gardening, cleaning around the house and power washing.

J. B. Smoove

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
