“So I come back again to the condition that the Golden Rule, if one adopts it, is a difficult master to serve. The ship’s captain will not throw the compass overboard because the wind blows fair and the day is funny. For he knows, from the experiences of the ocean’s instability, that the danger days of storm are always “just ahead.” So the compass must always be handy and obedience to it must always be loyal. And so with the Golden Rulle—the compass must be ever at hand through life’s journey. It will see us through trying times. And perhaps the most trying of all times comes when success is riding high and we may be tempted to “throw the compass overboard.” It is then we must remember that all good days in human life come from the mastery of the days of trouble that are forever recurrent.”
J.C. Penney

“For every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none.
If there be one, try and find it;
If there be none, never mind it.”
Mother Goose Rhymes, Mother Goose Rhy Color

Anne Lamott
“For a life oriented to leisure is in the end a life oriented to death – the greatest leisure of all.”
Ann Lamott

Samuel Beckett
“To be together again, after so long, who love the sunny wind, the windy sun, in the sun, in the wind, that is perhaps something, perhaps something.”
Samuel Beckett, Watt

“It is also the pardonable vanity of lonely people everywhere to assume that they have no counterparts.”
