learned about life.
It goes on |
| Is not life a hundred times too short for us to
bore ourselves? |
| It happens sometimes, people just explode. Natural
causes. |

without goodness; and I pronounce it as certain
that there was never yet a truly great man that

when it is lived for others. |
| Life is better than death, I believe, if only
because it is less boring and because it has fresh
peaches in it. |

intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly
proclaiming, "WOW!! What a ride!!!" |
| Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well
preserved body...but rather to skid in
broadside...thoroughly used up...totally worn
out...and loudly proclaiming: WOW! What a Ride! |

take but by the moments that
take our breath away.

| Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all
they have. |
| Never do card tricks for the group you play poker
with. |
| Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid
altogether. |
| Never use intuition. |
| No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be
strong, gentle, pure,
and good without the world being better for
it, without somebody being helped and
comforted by the very existence of that
goodness. |
| No matter what you've done for yourself or for
humanity, if you can't look back on having given
love and attention to your own family, what have
you really accomplished? |
| No one can make a brand new start, but you can
start now and make a brand new ending. |
