The possibilities for tomorrow are usually beyond our expectations. Make haste slowly. What I tell you three times is true. Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. Danger and delight grow on one stalk . My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. Do not wish to be anything but what you are. We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never either so wretched or so happy as we say we are. We should lay up in peace what we shall need in war. What you intuitively desire, that is possible to you. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth. They who are the most persistent, and work in the true spirit, will invariably be the most successful. There is little serenity comparable to the serenity of the inexperienced giving advice to the experienced. Man makes holy what he believes, as he makes beautiful what he loves. The happy people are those who are producing something. That sanguine expectation of happiness which is happiness itself. Wasted time means wasted lives. Sex, unlike justice, should not be seen to be done. A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations. It matters not how long we live, but how.
