"Just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now, and then got it back again"

About this Quote
This quote encourages us to appreciate what we have as well as to value it as if it were already lost. Only after that can we genuinely understand its worth and also appreciate it with gratitude. The quote also suggests that the experience of shedding whatever and afterwards getting it back would certainly raise our joy significantly, as it would certainly make us realize just how much we have and also how much we took it for given.
"Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come, as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours"
"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?"
