Sometimes for want of a greater sea, we wreck ourselves on life's little rocks.

Truth comes knocking at the door, and you say, "Go away! I'm looking for the truth."

If the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems begin to look like nails.

Only the lead dog gets a change of scenery.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing badly.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing slowly.

Perspective

The world is too big a place for us, too much is going on,
too many crimes, too much violence and excitement.
Try as you will, you get behind in the race in spite of yourself.
It's a constant strain to keep pace and still, you lose ground.
Science empties its discoveries on you so fast that you stagger beneath
them in hopeless bewilderment. The political world is news seen rapidly,
you're out of breath trying to keep pace with who's in and who's out.
Everything is high pressure. Human nature can't endure much more.
