Random Quotes and Quotations
 If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.  Action, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends. I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes. It is a very delicate job to forgive a man, without lowering him in his estimation, and yours too. I love not man the less, but nature more. They can because they think they can. - Virgil Men never think their fortunes too great, nor their wit too little. Did you ever have one of those nights when you didn't want to go out, but your hair looked too good to stay home? In England I would rather be a man, a horse, a dog or a woman, in that order. In America I think the order would be reversed. We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves. - Goethe Someday change will be accepted as life itself. Life cannot defeat a writer who is in love with writing - for life itself is a writer's love until death. In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women. I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing. An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. I never work better than when I am inspired by anger; for when I am angry, I can write, pray, and preach well, for then my whole temperament is quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and temptations depart. If you want an accounting of your worth, count your friends. Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind. A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means. The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow. The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.
