Share History is more or less bunk. Quality means doing it right when no one is looking. Do your best every time … because by doing a thing well you build something valuable into yourself. The human mind is a channel through which things-to-be are coming into the realm of things-that-are. The only history that [...]

Share Learn to say ‘I don’t know.’ If used when appropriate, it will be often. I believe what I said yesterday. I don’t know what I said, but I know what I think, and, well, I assume it’s what I said. Well, um, you know, something’s neither good nor bad but thinking makes it so, [...]

Share It would be curious to know what leads a man to become a stationer rather than a baker, when he is no longer compelled, as among the Egyptians, to succeed to his father’s craft. A young bride is like a plucked flower; but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked [...]

Share “Friendship is Love without his wings” “The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.” “The heart will break, but broken live on.” “There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium’s capital had gather’d then Her Beauty and her Chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o’er [...]
