Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
Woody Allen
It takes little talent to see what lies under one’s nose, a good deal to know in what direction to point that organ.
Wystan Hugh Auden
Certainly it is a world of scarcity. But the scarcity is not confined to iron ore and available land. The most constricting scarcities are those of character and personality.
William R(ichard) Allen
Naturally, we cannot say much about the spiritual body, because we cannot imagine what it would be like to have a spiritual body different from that which we now inhabit; but it seems to me reasonable to believe that we are weaving our spiritual bodies as we go along.
William R. Matthews
To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
William Hazlitt
There is nothing more likely to drive a person mad than…an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.
William Hazlitt
There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.
William James
With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
William Lloyd Garrison
An adventure differs from a mere feat in that it is tied to the externally unattainable. Only one end of the rope is in the hand, the other is not visible, and neither prayers, nor daring, nor reason can shake it free.
William Bolitho
You can do what you want to do, accomplish what you want to accomplish, attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind–not all of a sudden, perhaps not in one swift and sweeping act of achievement–but you can do it gradually, day by day and play by play, if you want to do it, if you work to do it, over a sufficiently long period of time.
