Random Quotes and Quotations
 Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.  Boredom is a sickness of the soul. Art-speech is the only truth. An artist is usually a damned liar but his art, if it be art, will tell you the truth of his day. And that is all that matters. Away with eternal truth. The truth lives from day to day, and the marvelous Plato of yesterday is chiefly bosh today. Management is now where the medical profession was when it decided that working in a drug store was not sufficient training to become a doctor. To be kind to all, to like many and love a few, to be needed and wanted by those we love, is certainly the nearest we can come to happiness. When life knocks you to your knees, and it will, why, get up! If it knocks you to your knees again, as it will, well, isn't that the best position from which to pray? It's compassion that makes gods of us. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job. - Bible Courage is fear that has said its prayers. Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world. At times failure is very necessary for the artist. It reminds him that failure is not the ultimate disaster. And this reminder liberates him from the mean fussing of perfectionism. Society can only exist on the basis that there is some amount of polished lying and that no one says exactly what he thinks. Spend a moment, every day, thinking of someone to love. Gawd knows, and 'E won't split on a pal. Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there. Where I cannot satisfy my reason, I love to humour my fancy. If God made us in his image, we have certainly returned the compliment. - Voltaire What man is there that does not laboriously, though all unconsciously, himself fashion the sorrow that is to be the pivot of his life. Better to expose ourselves to ingratitude than fail in assisting the unfortunate. - Du Coeur Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic.
