The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

J.W.N. Sullivan


For every living creature that succeeds in getting a footing in life there are thousands or millions that perish. There is an enormous random scattering for every seed that comes to life. This does not remind us of intelligent human design. "If a man in order to shoot a hare, were to discharge thousands of guns on a great moor in all possible directions; if in order to get into a locked room, he were to buy ten thousand casual keys, and try them all; if, in order to have a house, he were to build a town, and leave all the other houses to wind and weather - assuredly no one would call such proceedings purposeful and still less would anyone conjecture behind these proceedings a higher wisdom, unrevealed reasons, and superior prudence."

George Santayana, Life of Reason (1905) vol. 4, ch. 4


Music is essentially useless, as life is: but both have an ideal extension which lends utility to its conditions.

Kahlil Gibran


We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.

Jimmy Buffett


If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette


Look for a long time at what pleases you, and for a longer time at what pains you.

Bill Vaughan


Maybe the answer to Selective Service is to start everyone off in the army and draft them for civilian life as needed.

Arabic Parable


Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble.

Lyndon B. Johnson, December 13, 1963


We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it.
