Random Quotes and Quotations
 Here on earth, God's work must surely be our own.  To be born free is an accident; to live free a responsibility; to die free is an obligation. Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. People are lucky and unlucky ... according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect. To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence. A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify: A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. 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. Every man in the world is better than someone else, and not as good as someone else. One of the most important factors, not only in military matters but in life as a whole, is ... the ability to direct one's whole energies towards the fulfillment of a particular task. Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to brass tacks. The main obligation is to amuse yourself. I believe that dreams transport us through the underside of our days, and that if we wish to become acquainted with the dark side of what we are, the signposts are there, waiting for us to translate them. It is no use saying 'we are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary. If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much. We must laugh before we are happy, for fear of dying without having laughed at all. We must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon-to anticipate it and to plan for it. The future is ours to channel in the direction we want to go ... we must continually ask ourselves, "What will happen if ... ?" or better still, "How can we make it happen?" One must not lose desires. They are mighty stimulants to creativeness, to love and to long life. When you cannot make up your mind between two evenly balanced courses of action, choose the bolder. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul; we may preserve it in the midst of the bitterest pain, if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life springs from acquiescence to, not in an exemption from, suffering. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters. - Bible
