Life is like the river: endlessly moving on, ever seeking, exploring, pushing, overflowing its banks, penetrating every crevice with its water. But the mind won’t allow that to happen to itself. The mind sees that it''s dangerous, risky to live in a state of impermanency, insecurity, so it builds a wall around itself.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

- Agatha Christie

If the mind, that rules the body, ever so far forgets itself as to trample on its slave, the slave is never generous enough to forgive the injury, but will rise and smite the oppressor. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it out and dance on it. That would take some of the rigidity out of it. ~Mark Twain

There are four distinct functions of mind: manas, buddhi, ahamkara, and chitta. These four functions of mind and their functioning should be coordinated. To establish coordination among the various modifications of mind, one has to learn to watch the mind’s functioning through actions and speech, and at the same time, observe the thinking process within. Ignorance is the mother of all diseases, discomforts, pains, and miseries. A purified, quiet, and serene mind is positive and healthy. The process of meditation helps the mind to remain a useful and constructive instrument.

Mind(manas) is formed out of wind. So, it is fleeting like the wind. Intellect(budhi) is formed out of fire. Chitta is formed out of water. Ego(ahamkar) is formed out of earth.
