You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. - William Faulkner

"It does last," Horace said. "Spring does. You'd almost think there was some purpose to it."

Folks are funny. They can't stick to one way of thinking or doing anything unless they get a new reason for doing it ever so often.

I mind how I said to you once that there is a price for being good the same as for being bad; a cost to pay. And it's the good men that cant deny the bill when it comes around. They cant deny it for the reason that there aint any way to make them pay it, like a honest man that gambles. The bad men can deny it; that's why dont anybody expect them to pay on sight or any other time. But the good cant. Maybe it takes longer to pay for being good than for being bad.
