Random Quotes and Quotations
 We must endure what fortune sends.  The surest poison is time. Workaholics are energized rather than enervated by their work-their energy paradoxically expands as it is expended. Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow. Success depends upon using it wisely-by planning and setting priorities. There is nothing noble about being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. All things are subject to change, and we change with them. (Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis.) When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren't grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. Those only deserve a monument who do not need one. By nice women . . . you probably mean selfish women who have no more thought for the underprivileged, overworked women than a pussycat in a sunny window for the starving kitten in the street. Now in that sense I am not a nice woman, for I do care. The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end. Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he is buying. Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants, lives so as to give a meaning and a value to his own life. Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want. No, I don't understand my husband's theory of relativity, but I know my husband, and I know he can be trusted. "Okay, I have arthritis, and this is the way arthritis is." Take pain as it comes and you can better master it. Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend. If triangles had a God, he would have three sides. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. There are no credentials. They do not even need a medical certificate. They need not be sound either in body or mind. They only require a certificate of birth -just to prove they are first of the litter. You would not choose a Spaniel on these principles. (On aristocracy) When you enter your secret chamber, take plenty of time before you begin to speak. Let quietude wield its influence upon you. Let the fact that you are alone assert itself. Give your soul time to get released from the many outward things. Give God time to play the prelude to prayer for the benefit of your distracted soul.
