Random Quotes and Quotations
 The llama is a woolly sort of fleecy hairy goat With an indolent expression and an undulating throat - Like an unsuccessful literary man.  Beyond our utmost wants His love and power can bless; To praying souls he always grants More than they can express. There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge. The poet is the priest of the invisible. Man is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so. O, for an engine to keep back all clocks! Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, The poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, The indifferent judge between the high and low. Each golden sunrise ushers in new opportunities for those who retain faith in themselves, and keep their chins up.... Meet the sunrise with confidence. Fill every golden minute with right thinking and worthwhile endeavor. Do this and there will be joy for you in each golden sunset. This is courage ... to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation. It was such a joy to see thee. I wish I could tell how much thee is to my life. I always turn to thee as a sort of rest. God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. The man who has done his level best, and who is conscious that he has done his best, is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure. Out of the best and most productive years of each man's life, he should carve a segment in which he puts his private career aside to serve his community and his country, and thereby serve his children, his neighbours, his fellow men, and the cause of freedom. That's what learning is. You suddenly understand something you understood all your life, but in a new way. Goals are dreams with deadlines. Love understands love; it needs no talk. Perfectionism is slow death. Our society, like decadent Rome, has turned into an amusement society, with writers chief among the court jesters - not so much above the clatter as part of it. In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.
