Random Quotes and Quotations
 It is assumed that the woman must wait motionless until she is wooed. That is how the spider waits for the fly.  Love, and do what you like. Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains. Half the things that people do not succeed in are through fear of making the attempt. He who gladly does without the praise of the crowd will not miss the opportunity of becoming his own fan. To all, to each, a fair goodnight, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light. Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen. Enjoy the present day, trusting very little to the morrow. - Horace The infinitely little have pride infinitely great. - Voltaire A leap year Is never a good sheep year. Temptations which accompany the working day will be conquered on the basis of the morning breakthrough to God. Decisions, demanded by work, become easier and simpler where they are made not in the fear of men, but only in the sight of God. He wants to give us today the power which we need for our work. People "died" all the time. ... Parts of them died when they made the wrong kinds of decisions-decisions against life. Sometimes they died bit by bit until finally they were just living corpses walking around. If you were perceptive you could see it in their eyes; the fire had gone out ... you always knew when you made a decision against life. ... The door clicked and you were safe inside- safe and dead. Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time. There are days when it takes all you've got just to keep up with the losers. If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I rise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savour) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind that I am of what is true. Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make life so, right in the middle of it we die, lose a leg, fall in love, drop a jar of applesauce. Poetry is a mug's game.
