Random Quotes and Quotations
 I believe that in our constant search for security we can never gain any peace of mind until we are secure in our own soul.  However confused the scene of our life appears, however torn we may be who now do face that scene, it can be faced, and we can go on to be whole. In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity. The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing. The main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unforeseen attack. Worry is evidence of an ill-controlled brain; it is merely a stupid waste of time in unpleasantness. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. How many a rustic Milton has passed by, Stifling the speechless longings of his heart In unremitting drudgery and care! How many a vulgar Cato has compelled His energies, no longer tameless then, To mold a pin, or fabricate a nail! The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him. - Bible One can go a long way after one is tired. Ladies and gentlemen, you can't please everyone. Take my girlfriend - I think she's the most remarkable woman in the world. . . . That's me . . . But to my wife . . . Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. A good government remains the greatest of human blessings, and no nation has ever enjoyed it. To live is like to love: all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct is for it. No man is a hero to his own wife; no woman is a wife to her own hero. Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and rhe light of love shone on me in that very hour. Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. I'm frank, brutally frank. And even when I'm not frank, I look frank. Study as if you were to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
