Random Quotes and Quotations
 When all else is lost, the future still remains.  Good Americans, when they die, go to Paris. In the sex-war, thoughtlessness is a weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female. Both are reciprocally generated, but a woman's desire for revenge outlasts all other emotion. Yet when every unkind word about women has been said, we have still to admit, with Byron, that they are nicer than men. They are more devoted, more unselfish and more emotionally sincere. When the long fuse of cruelty, deceit and revenge is set alight, it is male thoughtlessness which has fired it. Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are. Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves. Every man has his price. The whole of nature is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and passive. Be sure to remember that nothing in your daily life is so insignificant and so inconsequential that the Lord will not help you by answering your prayer. What treasures here do Mammon's sons behold! Yet know that all that which glitters is not gold. Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat. The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother and to become fully independent. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. - Bible Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. In life, as in chess, forethought wins. In a friend you find a second self. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose. - Ayn Rand You men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are the fools. The rich can be "eccentric," the poor have to be considered "nuts." The universe is not hostile, nor yet is it friendly. It is simply indifferent.
