To be able to enjoy heaven, one must learn first to enjoy earth. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Who climbs the mountain does not always climb. The winding road slants downward many a time; Yet each descent is higher than the last.

If fallacies come knocking at my door, I'd rather feed, and shelter full a score, Than hide behind the black portcullis, doubt, And run the risk of barring one Truth out. And if pretension for a time deceive, And prove me one too ready to believe, Far less my shame, than if by stubborn act, I brand as lie, some great colossal Fact.

laugh and the world laughs with you. weep and weep alone
