most powerful engines of success.

Nothing great was ever achieve
without enthusiasm.”

to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

to have it make some difference
that you have lived and lived well.”

Thought for Today
In every work of genius,
we recognize our own rejected thoughts;
they come back to us
with a certain alienated majesty.
Thought for Today
The sun shines and warms and lights us
and we have no curiosity to know why this is so;
but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger,
and mosquitoes and silly people.
