Random Quotes and Quotations
 To seek after beauty as an end, is a wild goose chase, a will-o'-the-wisp, because it is to misunderstand the very nature of beauty, which is the normal condition of a thing being as it should be.  Friendship is the pleasing game of interchanging praise. Take my will, and make it Thine, It shall be no longer mine; Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne. One machine can do the work of 50 ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him. You seldom get what you go after unless you know in advance what you want. I am optimistic and confident in all that I do. I affirm only the best for myself and others. I am the creator of my life and my world. I meet daily challenges gracefully and with complete confidence. I fill my mind with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts. Spread out your petition before God, and then say, "Thy will, not mine, be done." The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord choose for me. I made a mistake today, I made a mistake yesterday. I think it's ... very important to ignore the negative. To be satisfied with what one has; that is wealth. As long as one sorely needs a certain additional amount, that man isn't rich. Your thorns are the best part of you. Shy and unready men are great betrayers of secrets; for there are few wants more urgent for the moment than the want of something to say. You call it madness, but I call it love. - Don Byas All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood. Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. Virtue is health, vice is sickness. - Petrarch Take heed lest passion sway Thy judgment to do aught, which else free will Would not admit. Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed. The ruling passion, be it what it will, the ruling passion conquers reason still. The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people cruel and bitter.
