The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone. A short absence is the safest. All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it. There are no rewards or punishments -- only consequences. Uniform ideas originating among entire peoples unknown to each other must have a common ground of truth. Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste. Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead. A skilful leech is better far, than half a hundred men of war. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give. Remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you. Every time I hear that word, I cringe. Fun! I think it's disgusting it's just running around. It's not my idea of pleasure. The wise man does at once what the fool does finally. |
