Random Quotes and Quotations
 I fear there will be no future for those who do not change.  When one clings to the myth of superiority, one must constantly overlook the virtues and abilities of others. It is for the superfluous things of life that men sweat. Man is a tool-using animal. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Love for a dog during childhood is one of the deepest and purest emotions we are ever likely to have, and it remains with us for the rest of our lives. For some people, their first experience with love is with a dog. The fact that the dog returns the love so fiercely, so openly, so unambivalently, is for many children a unique and lasting experience. Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost! They who are the most persistent, and work in the true spirit, will invariably be the most successful. I am not young enough to know everything. Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose. ... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is. ... Even in the meanest sorts of labor, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work. I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn't pronounce my R's. I wasn't a beauty. Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death. One of the most important factors, not only in military matters but in life as a whole, is ... the ability to direct one's whole energies towards the fulfillment of a particular task. We are, in truth, more than a half of what we are by imitation. Age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill. Prospect is often better than possession. Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels. - Voltaire The author who speaks about his own books is almost as bad as a mother who talks about her own children. What had seemed easy in imagination was rather hard in reality.
