CytatyUnknown"Luck" is a very good word if you put a P before it."Oh," replied his patient, with no malice aforethought, "he told me to come and see you." "What made the deepest impression upon you?" inquired a friend one day of Lincoln, "when you stood in the presence of the Falls of Niagara, the greatest of natural wonders?" ---- "The thing that stuck me most forcibly when I saw the Falls," Lincoln responded with the characteristic deliberation, "was where in the world did all that water come from?" A college education never hurt anybody who was willing to learn after he got it. A conscience is like a baby. It has to go to sleep before you can. A fellow who says he has never told a lie has just told one. A good laugh is sunshine in a house. A good marriage winds up as a meeting of minds, which had better be pretty good to start with. A good name, like good will, is attained by many actions and may be lost by one. A great fortune in the hands of a fool is a great misfortune. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams. A little tact and wise management may often evade resistance, and carry a point, where direct force might be in vain. A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about. A man is getting along on the road to wisdom when he begins to realize that his opinion is just an opinion. |
