Random Quotes and Quotations
 When all else is lost, the future still remains.  Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn't likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn't remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish. God helps those who help themselves. L.A.'s large convenience stores are so big they can accommodate up to twenty armed robbers at one time. - Jay Leno All wealth is the product of labor A monarchy is a merchantman which sails well, but will sometimes strike on a rock, and go to the bottom; a republic is a raft which will never sink, but then your feet are always in water. Greater things are believed of those who are absent. - Tacitus The world belongs to the energetic. Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendships and intimacies ... and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to "keep" by force of mere inertia. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost! Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all-the apathy of human beings. The cares of today are seldom those of tomorrow. The quality of our expectations determines the quality of our actions. Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them. There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend. Beauty, more than bitterness Makes the heart break.

No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness, than disbelief in great men. From his cradle to the grave, a man never does a single thing which has any first and foremost object save one-to secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for himself. Music is a language by whose means messages are elaborated, that such messages can be understood by the many but sent out only by few, and that it alone among all the languages unites the contradictory character of being at once intelligible and untranslatable - these facts make the creator of music a being like the gods.
