Random Quotes and Quotations
 Good and evil lie close together. Seek no artistic unity in character.  The more one comes to know men, the more one comes to admire the dog. Man arrives as a novice at each age of his life. The home of everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose. It is not death we fear, but the thought of it. Our life on earth is, and ought to be, material and carnal. But we have not yet learned to manage our materialism and carnality properly; they are still entangled with the desire for ownership. The world doesn't come to the clever folks, it comes to the stubborn, obstinate, one-idea-at-a-time people. Ideas are powerful things, requiring not a studious contemplation but an action, even if it is only an inner action. My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill, he gave me six months more. The game of life is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well. He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. - Bible Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe. The most unhappy of all men is he who believes himself to be so. Every burned book enlightens the world. The resistance to the unpleasant situation is the root of suffering. - Ram Dass One night alone in prayer might make us new men, changed from poverty of soul to spiritual wealth, from trembling to triumphing. We [Americans] cheerfully assume that in some mystic way love conquers all, that good outweighs evil in the just balances of the universe and that at the eleventh hour something gloriously triumphant will prevent the worst before it happens. Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold. Every guest hates the others, and the host hates them all. Strong men greet war, tempest, hard times. They wish, as Pindar said, to tread the floors of hell, with necessities as hard as iron.
