Random Quotes and Quotations
 Love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave. - Bible  Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost. He is more within us than we are ourselves. The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty, not knowing what comes next. At bottom the world isn't a joke. We only joke about it to avoid an issue with someone, to let someone know that we know he's there with his questions; to disarm him by seeming to have heard and done justice to his side of the standing argument. Strong people are made by opposition, like kites that go up against the wind. We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road-the one less traveled by-offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth. Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain. When the mind is thinking, it is talking to itself. - Plato Man must be arched and buttressed from within, else the temple wavers to dust. He who prays for his neighbors will be heard for himself. - Talmud Graduation Speech: You'll have to excuse me if I cry. I've been a little teary-eyed all week; the sadness, the joy, . . . the fact that I'm off my parents' payroll. My husband will never chase another woman. He's too fine, too decent, too old. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. The manager with the in-basket problem does not yet understand that he must discipline himself to take care of activities that fail to excite him. There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it. Why did God make man before he made woman? Because he didn't want any advice on how to do it. Never be afraid to sit awhile and think. Since the general civilization of mankind I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. Imposing limitations on yourself is cowardly because it protects you from having to try, and perhaps failing.
