Heard a good one from some guy on Wheel of Fortune last night. Fashion consultant, I think. I don't remember his name, but I do remember his 3 rules for living.
1. Be nice.
2. Take responsibility for your actions
3. The world doesn't owe you anything.
I told Faye: "Wow! That's my 3 rules for living."
Anyway, I liked it.

“Progress is Providence without God. That is, it is a theory that everything has always perpetually gone right by accident. It is a sort of atheistic optimism, based on an everlasting coincidence far more miraculous than a miracle.” ~ G. K. Chesterton

Things go right, things go wrong, with or without a belief in God. A belief in God, or atheism, just affects one's perception of things.
I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I'm beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn't pleasant, it's not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves. ~ Hermann Hesse

“If you’re not a race car driver and not a racer, stay home. Don’t come here and grumble about going too fast. Get out of the race car if you’ve got feathers on your legs or butt. Put a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won’t climb up there and eat that candy ass.”
— Seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt, who clearly had grown tired of some drivers and some officials complaining about increasing speeds at some tracks.

3 Mark Twain is also credited with that but at the end he added "it was here first". Probably not the first to come to that realization.

True indeed.
An everlasting coincidence. Or a miracle.
