Random Quotes and Quotations
 This is the worst pain a man can suffer: to have insight into much and power over nothing.  The moment somebody says to me, "This is very risky," is the moment it becomes attractive to me. Practice easing your way along. Don't get het up or in a dither. Do your best; take it as it comes. You can handle anything if you think you can. Just keep your cool and your sense of humor. He that flings dirt at another dirtieth himself most. Laws die, books never. The apparent serenity of the past is an oil spread by time. Life is something that happens to you while you're making other plans. Power is the ability to do good things for others. There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. The fewer the words, the better the prayer. A half-truth is a whole lie. What the collective age wants, allows and approves, is the perpetual holiday from the self. The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. 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. My whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. But I shall not have the strength to carry out this resolution alone unless you join in it with me. In our civilization men are afraid they will not be men enough, and women are afraid they might be considered only women. The dream is real, my friends. The failure to realize it is the only reality. All the great pleasures in life are silent. History is something that never happened, written by a man who wasn't there. Never stop. One always stops as soon as something is about to happen.
