Random Quotes and Quotations
 The highest courage is not to be found in the instinctive acts of men who risk their lives to save a friend or slay a foe; the physical fearlessness of a moment or an hour is not to be compared with immolation of months or years for the sake of wisdom or art.  Humor is an antidote to isolation. Speech is civilization itself. The word, even the most contradictory word, preserves contact - it is silence which isolates. Play out the game, act well your part, and if the gods have blundered, we will not. To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life. What some invent, the rest enlarge. The sweetest of all sounds is praise. - Xenophon Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable. Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Four steps to achievement: plan purposefully, prepare prayerfully, proceed positively, pursue persistently. When a woman dressjBS up for an occasion, the man should become the black velvet pillow for the jewel. As the husband is, the wife is. A happy life consists in tranquility of mind. - Cicero Conciseness is the sister of talent. Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worst. Happiness is a rare plant that seldom takes root on earth-few ever enjoyed it, except for a brief period; the search after it is rarely rewarded by the discovery, but there is an admirable substitute for it... a contented spirit. To put a tempting face aside when duty demands every faculty is a lesson which takes most men longest to learn. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own. Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought. Liberality consists less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.
