Neatly in Shambles

Life always has an unhappy ending, but you can have a lot of fun along the way, and everything doesn’t have to be dripping in deep significance.

If you think you are leading and you look behind you and no one is following, you are just going for a walk.

There are a million ways to lose a work day, but not even a single way to get one back.

If you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything. You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree.

Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.

Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.

You got to be careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

Hard times don’t have to make us hard. We have a choice and resiliency is a good one.

Easy goals require an afternoon change, normal goals require a schedule change, worthwhile goals require a lifestyle change.

A man’s age is something impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken; maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man’s age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories.

When the game is finished – the King and pawn go back in the same box.

It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out; it’s the grain of sand in your shoe.

No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.

Waste no tears over the grieves of yesterday.
