Random Quotes and Quotations
 One of the most important factors, not only in military matters but in life as a whole, is ... the ability to direct one's whole energies towards the fulfillment of a particular task.  If only there were evil people somewhere, insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? Success is due less to ability than to zeal. In time of trouble avert not thy face from hope, for the soft marrow abi-deth in the hard bone. - Hafez The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Strong men greet war, tempest, hard times. They wish, as Pindar said, to tread the floors of hell, with necessities as hard as iron. Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world - though the cant of hypocrites ihay be the worst - the cant of criticism is the most tormenting. I once saw a pin on a Delta Airlines employee, and I asked him what the letters in Delta stand for. He said, "Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive." We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different, and yet the same. Only great men may have great faults. We never know the worth of water till the well is dry. That is the best-to laugh with someone because you think the same things are funny. The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. Let how you live your life stand for something, no matter how small and incidental it may seem. What makes a good pinch hitter? I wish the hell I knew. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, they classic face, Thy naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome. The body never lies. Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes it visible. I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. Happiness is not a goal, it is a byproduct.
