 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Bible  A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live. The middle of the road is where the white line is, and that's the worst place to drive. For an idea ever to be fashionable is ominous, since it must afterwards be always old-fashioned. I find the more I drink the more interesting others become. There is always a certain peace in being what one is, in being that completely. The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions-the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling. Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. We don't love a woman for what she says, but we like what she says because we love her. Calumniate, calumniate; there will always be something which sticks. Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed. I was the best man at the wedding. So why is she marrying him? In prosperity friends do not leave you unless desired, whereas in adversity they stay away of their own accord. Oh, I love to see a man with a cigar. It reminds me of my grandfather. Morning to night, he used to sit with a great big stogie dangling from his lips. Oh, the hours we kids used to spend sitting on his lap, playing with the yellow whiskers beneath his nose. Then he'd take out his teeth with the cigar still in them and chase us around the room! We'd all laugh and laugh . . . then suddenly Grampa's mood would change, and we'd all have to run for our lives. . . . You can't buy memories like that. I haven't spoken to my wife in years-I didn't want to interrupt her. True eloquence consists of saying all that should be, not all that could be, said. You are in the driver's seat of your life and can point your life down any road you want to travel. You can go as fast or as slow as you want to go ... and you can change the road you're on at any time. Happiness and love are just a choice away. Every man is to be respected as an absolute end in himself: and it is a crime against the dignity that belongs to him as a human being, to use him as a mere means for some external purpose. Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road.
