Random Quotes and Quotations
 You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.  Humour is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humour, for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit. No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time. One cloud is enough to eclipse all the sun. If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer. All progress is based upon a universal, innate desire on the part of every living organism to live beyond its income. Let us humour if we can The vertical man Though we value none But the horizontal one. If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I wouldn't pass it around. Wouldn't be doing anybody a favour.

But I do say, meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it. It is the theory which decided what can be observed. Tomorrow is a satire on today, And shows its weakness. One's first step in wisdom is to question everything; one's last is to come to terms with everything.

That she is a human being is of no concern to him. Leisure is the mother of philosophy. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. Before he sets out, the traveller must possess fixed interests and facilities, to be served by travel. If he drifted aimlessly from country to country he would not travel but only wander, ramble as a tramp. The traveller must be somebody and come from somewhere so his definite character and moral traditions may supply an organ and a point of comparison for his observations. The only thing that holds a marriage together is the husband being big enough to step back and see where the wife was wrong. Is life worth living? Aye, with the best of us, Heights of us, depths of us- Life is the test of us!
