Random Quotes and Quotations
 Good-humor is goodness and wisdom combined.  In all modern depressions, recessions, or growth-correction, as variously they are called, we never miss the goods that are not produced. We miss only the opportunities for the labour - for the jobs - that are not provided. A nation is a body of people who have done great things together in the past and hope to do great things together in the future. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward. You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life- so that if it were over tomorrow, you'd be content with yourself. I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it "content." Change means the unknown. I never enter a new company without the hope that I may discover a friend, perhaps the friend, sitting there with an expectant smile. That hope survives a thousand disappointments. Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live. Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. - Bible When one admires an artist it is important not to know him personally. In order to be utterly happy, the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future. No one is happy all his life long. Art is I; science is we. The American's conversation is much like his courtship ... He gives an inkling and watches for a reaction; if the weather looks fair, he inkles a little more. Wishing neither to intrude nor be intruded upon, he advances by stages of acceptance, by levels of agreement, by steps of concurrence. To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life. We should have no regrets. ... The past is finished. There is nothing to be gained by going over it. Whatever it gave us in the experiences it brought us was something we had to know. Proust has pointed out that the predisposition to love creates it's own objects: is this not also true of fear? In the midst of life we are in death. Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.
