Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience. The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods. Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them; power flows to the man who knows how. Some men succeed by what they know; some by what they do; and a few by what they are. The best preparation for good work tomorrow is good work today. The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live. The brain is a commodity used to fertilize ideas. The cure for grief is motion. The difference in men does not lie in the size of their hands, nor in the perfection of their bodies, but in this one sublime ability of concentration: to throw the weight in one blow, to live eternity in an hour. The Great Black Things that have loomed against the horizon of my life, threatening to devour me, simply loomed and nothing more. The things that have really made me miss my train have always been sweet, soft, pretty, pleasant things of which I was not in the least afraid. |
