Random Quotes and Quotations
 To be happy, drop the words "if only" and substitute instead the words "next time."  As it is our nature to be more moved by hope than fear, the example of one we see abundantly rewarded cheers and encourages us far more than the sight of many who have not been well treated disquiets us. We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have- and not worrying about what we don't have. Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow. The cheap, no matter how charming, how immediate, does not wear so well. It has a way of telling its whole story the first time through. Neither cast ye your pearls before swine. - Matthew Footnotes, the little dogs yapping at the heels of the text. A man is rich in proportion to the things he can afford to let alone. Golf and sex: Two things you can really enjoy without being that good at them. One who uses many periods is a philosopher; many interrogations, a student; many exclamations, a fanatic. To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his right and left hand. He uses both. Genius is the talent for seeing things straight. It is seeing things in a straight line without any bend or break or aberration of sight, seeing them as they are, without any warping of vision. Flawless mental sight! That is genius. No first step can be really great; it must of necessity possess more of prophecy than of achievement; nevertheless it is by the first step that a man marks the value, not only of his cause, but of himself. I want to do it because I want to do it. Set a beggar on horseback, and he will ride a gallop. It's compassion that makes gods of us. There are bad people who would be less dangerous if they were quite devoid of goodness. When elephants fight it is the grass that suffers. Those who love the young best stay young longer. It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself.
