Random Quotes and Quotations
 Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.  The cruellest lies are often told in silence. Prayer is something deeper than words. It is present in the soul before it has been formulated in words. And it abides in the soul after the last words of prayer have passed over our lips. For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. When the man is at home, his standing in society is well known and quietly taken; but when he is abroad, it is problematical, and is dependent on the success of his manners. Vigilance in watching opportunity; tact and daring in seizing upon opportunity; force and persistence in crowding opportunity to its utmost possible achievement-these are the martial virtues which must command success. The pitcher cries for water to carry and a person for work that is real. There never was a good war or a bad peace.

To excel the past we must not allow ourselves to lose contact with it; on the contrary, we must feel it under our feet because we raised ourselves upon it. Treat your fiends as you do your picture, and place them in their best light. Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. A bull does not enjoy fame in two herds. There is only one meaning of life, the act of living itself. Before it's too late, and time is running out, let us turn from trust in the chain reactions of exploding atoms to faith of the chain reaction of God's love. Love - love of God and fellow men. That is God's formula for peace. Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail. Yesterday was the first day of the rest of your life . . . and you messed it up again. You say that love is nonsense. ... I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength. The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience.
