Random Quotes and Quotations
 To give pleasure to a single heart by a single kind act is better than a thousand head-bowings in prayer. - Sa'di  There are two problems in my life. The political ones are insoluble and the economic ones are incomprehensible. A good man never dies. I can remember walking as a child. It was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition. To err is human, to forgive divine. Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it. Humor acts to relieve fear. Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. - Bible Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. Nobody has things just as he would like them. The thing to do is to make a success with what material I have. It is a sheer waste of time and soul-power to imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do.

A picture is a poem without words. - Horace We do not die wholly at our deaths: we have moldered away gradually long before. Faculty after faculty, interest after interest, attachment after attachment disappear: we are torn from ourselves while living. He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses. - Horace Father expected a good deal of God. He didn't actually accuse God of inefficiency, but when he prayed his tone was loud and angry, like that of a dissatisfied guest in a carelessly managed hotel. Make it a rule of life never to regret and never look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's good only for wallowing in. Worry affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system, and profoundly affects the health. You have never known a man who died from overwork, but many who died from doubt.
