 Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.  There is no such thing as an inevitable war. If war comes it will be from failure of human wisdom. To be furious in religion is to be irreligiously religious. America is God's crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming!...

The life of the creative man is led, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes. Time is a flowing river. Happy those who allow themselves to be carried, unresisting, with the current. They float through easy days. They live, unquestioning, in the moment. It is in virtue that happiness consists, for virtue is the state of mind which tends to make the whole of life harmonious. - Zeno A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights. Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from failure. Boredom is simply the lack of imagination. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.

Fools take to themselves the respect that is given to their office. Aesop It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations. Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. Because it's there. Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.
