To attain happiness in another world we need only to believe something, while to secure it in this world, we must do something. She's the kind of woman who climbed the ladder of success, wrong by wrong. Monotony is the awful reward of the careful. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what actors do. Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible. Common sense does not ask an impossible chessboard, but takes the one before it and plays the game. Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. Fair words butter no parsnips. In a world filled with causes for worry and anxiety . . . we need the peace of God standing guard over our hearts and minds. He who is content in his poverty is wonderfully rich. Government is the political representative of a natural equilibrium, of custom, of inertia; it is by no means a representative of reason. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do. Urgent necessity prompts many to do things. Death is terrible to Cicero, desirable to Cato, and indifferent to Socrates. We rarely confide in those who are better than we are. It is better to be boldly decisive and risk being wrong than to agonize at length and be right too late. Seeing's believing, but feeling's the truth. Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here. Unless I am a part of everything I am nothing.
