Random Quotes and Quotations
 There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.  One of the things my life has taught me is how important it is to try to say, "I love you" in ways that can be preserved, looked at, and read when you are alone or when there is adversity or when circumstances bring separation. In any case, . . . saying "I love you" is one of the "secrets" of the happy marriage that Ronnie and I have shared. Ronnie's letters move me to this day. They are his gift to me across the years, and throughout the decades of love. I paint from the top down. First the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people. Treat people as if they were what they should be, and you help them become what they are capable of becoming. Affectation is a greater enemy to the face than smallpox. When we hurt each other we should write it down in the sand, so the winds of forgiveness can make it go away for good. When we help each other we should chisel it in stone, lest we never forget the love of a friend. The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success. Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it. - Cicero Nations, like individuals, live and die; but civilization cannot die. There is no such thing as a little garlic. Imitation is a necessity of human nature. Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the torture of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before. Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. People make their own luck. It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities. Population growth is the primary source of environmental damage. To live in hearts we leave behind, Is not to die. Nothing's easier than believing we understand experiences we've never had. How things look on the outside of us depends on how things are on the inside of us. A decent boldness ever meets with friends. - Homer
