I Feel No Need For

Perhaps One Has To Be Very Old Before One Learns To Be Amused Rather Than Shocked.

I Learned Early To Understand That There Is No Such Condition In Human Affairs As Absolute Truth. There Is Only Truth As People See It, And Truth, Even In Fact, May Be Kaleidoscopic In Its Variety. The Damage Such Perception Did To Me I Have Felt Ever Sincei Could Never Belong Entirely To One Side Of Any Question.

The Body Was So Little A Part Of Him That Its Final Stillness Seemed Nothing Of Importance. He Was Half Out Of It Anyway And Death Was Only A Slipping Out Of It Altogether And Being At Last What He Always Was, A Spirit. We Buried The Pearly Shell Upon The Mountain Top.

A Knowledge Of History As Detailed As Possible Is Essential If We Are To Comprehend The Present And Be Prepared For The Future. Fate...is Not The Blind Superstition Or Helplessness That Waits Stupidly For What May Happen. Fate Is Unalterable Only In The Sense That Given A Cause, A Certain Result Must Follow, But No Cause Is Inevitable In Itself, And Man Can Shape His World If He Does Not Resign Himself To Ignorance.

Every Great Mistake Has A Halfway Moment, A Split Second When It Can Be Recalled And Perhaps Remedied.
