To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals -
that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long
at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave.

Presidents Day is the day we honor Presidents Washington and Lincoln.
And of course Saturday was Valentine's Day, the day we celebrate President Clinton..

In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.

If we are to learn to improve the quality of the decisions we make, we need to accept the mysterious nature of our snap judgments.
