"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness,
not because they never found it,
but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."
A lot of voters always cast their ballot for the candidate who seems to them to be one of the people. That means he must have the same superstitions, the same unbalanced prejudices, and the same lack of understanding of public finances that are characteristic of the majority. A better choice would be a candidate who has a closer understanding and a better education than the majority. Too much voting is based on affability rather than on ability.
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
It must be terrible to have to live among people and not like human nature.
If we don't discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us.
If we conducted ourselves as sensibly in good times as we do in hard times, we could all acquire a competence.
Early morning cheerfulness can be extremely obnoxious.
We always admire the other person more after we've tried to do his job.
Some people are making such thorough plans for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.
