God'll send the bill to you. A decent boldness ever meets with friends. Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, And men grow better as the world grows old. Choice of attention, to pay attention to this and ignore that, is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. The Ethiop gods have Ethiop lips, Bronze cheeks, and woolly hair; The Grecian gods are like the Greeks, As keen-eyed, cold and fair. Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild. It is proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way. Here lies my past, Goodbye I have kissed it; Thank you kids, I wouldn't have missed it. Anarchy is against the law. No one is happy all his life long. One cannot get through life without pain.... What we can do is choose how to use the pain life presents to us. A town that has no ceiling price, A town of double-talk; A town so big men name her twice, Like so: 'N'Yawk, N'Yawk.' God helps the brave. All glory comes from daring to begin. It was only a sunny smile, And little it cost in the giving. But like morning light, it scattered the night, And made the day worth living. Is not a patron one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help? A Puritan is a person who lives in the fear that someone, somewhere, may be having a good time. Greatness is a road leading towards the unknown. Man's loneliness is but his fear of life. It is often better not to see an insult, than to avenge it.
