A blind man in a dark room - looking for a black hat which isn't there. There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his. And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them," A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house." If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another. In the face of an obstacle which is impossible to overcome, stubbornness is stupid. Prudence which degenerates into timidity is very seldom the path to safety. Nothing of worthy or weight can be achieved with half a mind, with a faint heart, and with a lame endeavor. This world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel. Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical. Life begins on the other side of despair. Each day should be passed as though it were our last. If you like easygoing, monogamous men, stay away from billionaires. In order to feel anything, you need strength. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. There are people who want to be everywhere at once, and they get nowhere. Money can't buy happiness, but it will certainly get you a better class of memories. We must beware of needless innovations, especially when guided by logic. Light quirks of music, broken and uneven, make the soul dance upon a jig of heaven. Become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.
