You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think. Never explain -- your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway. One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad. One great, strong, unselfish soul in every community could actually redeem the world. Optimism is a kind of heart stimulus--the digitalis of failure. Our admiration is so given to dead martyrs that we have little time for living heroes. Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of the field in hope that the cow will back up to them. Positive anything is better than negative nothing. Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it. The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is in love, laughter, and work. |
