Daily Quotations
Ethel Barrymore
You must learn day by day, year by year to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.
Lois McMaster Bujold, "Barrayar", 1991
But pain... seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain?
Fred Allen
If the grass is greener in the other fellow's yard - let him worry about cutting it.
John Updike
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and earning money.
John Ray
Adversity makes men wise but not rich.
Homer, The Iliad
Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.
