The soul ... is audible, not visible. A great many open minds should be closed for repairs. The wind was cold off the mountains and I was a naked man with enemies behind me, and nothing before me but hope. Suspicion of happiness is in our blood. Life is not always what one wants it to be, but to make the best of it, as it is, is the only way of being happy. Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out. A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before. True affluence is not needing anything. As long as I continue to hear "normal" people telling me I am too childish, I know I'm doing just fine. He that's cheated twice by the same man is an accomplice with the cheater. Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment. Here's to the past. Thank God it's past! All men have happiness as their object: there are no exceptions. However different the means they employ, they aim at the same end. A robin redbreast in a cage Sets all heaven in a rage. What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes! Money is the most egalitarian force in society. It confers power on whoever holds it. Condoms aren't completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one . . . and got hit by a bus. Style is a simple way of saying complicated things. I pray hard, work hard, and leave the rest to God. Luck serves ... as rationalization for every people that is not master of its own destiny.
