Random Quotes and Quotations
 Pains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. That's what makes a marriage last - more than passion or even sex.  Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes. Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can-and surely will at times-fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk. It is for the superfluous things of life that men sweat. It's only by forgetting yourself that you draw near to God. A man must be obedient to the promptings of his innermost heart. In all modern depressions, recessions, or growth-correction, as variously they are called, we never miss the goods that are not produced. We miss only the opportunities for the labour - for the jobs - that are not provided. Ottawa - a sub-arctic lumber-village converted by royal mandate into a political cockpit. An improper mind is a perpetual feast. Fly the pleasure that bites tomorrow. Common sense does not ask an impossible chessboard, but takes the one before it and plays the game. I love this job. I love it to death. I love every waking minute of it. In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French; I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language. Half the unhappiness in life comes from people being afraid to go straight at things. A statesman is an easy man, He tells his lies by rote; A journalist makes up his lies And takes you by the throat; So stay at home and drink your beer And let the neighbours vote. A little while with grief and laughter, And then the day will close; The shadows gather . . . what comes after No man knows. I was brought up to believe that the only thing worth doing was to add to the sum of accurate information in the world. First say to yourself what you would be, and then do what you have to do. We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified. - Aesop Why should a man fear, since chance is all in all for him, and he can clearly fore-know nothing? Best to live lightly as one can, unthinking.
