Random Quotes and Quotations
 Follow your own way of speaking to our Lord sincerely, lovingly, confidently, and simply, as your heart dictates.  Try to forget yourself in the service of others. For when we think too much of ourselves and our own interests, we easily become despondent. But when we work for others, our efforts return to bless us. Pedantry crams our heads with learned lumber and takes out brains to make room for it. In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy. Audible at five miles, painful at three, and lethal at one. Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun. Sleep, riches and health to be truly enjoyed must be interrupted. But ne'er the rose without the thorn. When a just cause reaches its flood-tide, as ours has done ..., whatever stands in the way must fall before its overwhelming power. When I was preparing for this speech I asked my family for advice. One member replied, "There's a first time for everything, so try to be funny and brief." Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. Passions are less mischievous than boredom, for passions tend to diminish and boredom increase. To mankind in general Macbeth and Lady Macbeth stand out as the supreme type of all that a host and hostess should not be. One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs. Let us savour the swift delights of the most beautiful of our days! Whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. - Bible The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. - Voltaire
