Random Quotes and Quotations
 To play it safe is not to play.  The difference between landscape and landscape is small, but there's a great difference in the beholders. In war, more than anywhere else in the world, things happen differently from what we had expected, and look differently when near from what they did at a distance. That which is built upon the land goes with the land. Not necessarily conscription, but conscription if necessary. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. Just don't respond with encores. The fun of being alive is realizing that you have a talent and you can use it every day, so it grows stronger. ... And if you're in an atmosphere where this talent is appreciated instead of just tolerated, why, it's just as good as sex. I am a part of all that I have met. Years back someone said cod liver oil was the cure-all! Cheerfulness is more palliative and with no unpleasant aftertaste. Everyone has his faults which he continually repeats; neither fear nor shame can cure them. Modesty is the conscience of the body. Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster. Man is the only creature which rises by bowing, for he finds elevation in his subjection to his Maker. Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. Failure really isn't terrible if you can say to yourself, hey, I know I'm gonna be successful at what I want to do someday. Failure doesn't become a big hangup then because it's only temporary. If failure is absolute, then it would be a disaster, but as long as it's only temporary you can just go and achieve almost anything. The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards; they will be dissipated, lost and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence. I have learnt a good deal from my own talk. The spirit of prayer is the fruit and token of the Spirit of adoption. If we could only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.
