Random Quotes and Quotations
 Better a fearful end than fear without end.  I learned that true forgiveness includes total self-acceptance. And out of acceptance wounds are healed and happiness is possible again. The unluckiest insolvent in the world is the man whose expenditure is too great for his income of ideas. Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may. As there is no worldly gain without some loss, so there is no worldly loss without some gain.... Set the allowance against the loss, and thou shalt find no loss great. The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously. The first time I ever felt the necessity or inevitableness of verse, was in the desire to reproduce the peculiar quality of feeling which is induced by the flat spaces and wide horizons of the virgin prairie of western Canada. Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. What strange perversity is it that induces a man to set his heart on doing those things which he has not succeeded in, and makes him slight those in which his achievement has been respectable. Hard times ain't quit and we ain't quit. If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become a failure, I would seek advice from men who have never succeeded. If I wanted to succeed in all things, I would look around me for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done. I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. The passion for truth is silenced by answers which have the weight of undisputed authority. All progress is based upon a universal, innate desire on the part of every living organism to live beyond its income. Peace hath higher tests of manhood Than battle ever knew. Like lambs to the slaughter. - Jeremiah Better a false belief than no belief at all. I am a moonbeam, free to go whenever I choose. The happy man is he who knows his limitations, yet bows to no false gods.
