If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you. - Don Marquis

procrastination is the
art of keeping
up with yesterday

The individual aspiration is always defeated of its perfect fruition and expression, but it is never lost; it passes into the conglomerate being of the race. The way to encourage yourself about the human race is to look at it first from a distance; look at the lights on the high spots.

amen said a beetle who had
preceded him into the interior that is the way i
feel myself is it not
wonderful when one arrives at the place
where he can give up his
ambitions and resignedly
nay even with gladness
recognize that it is a far
far better thing to be merged harmoniously
in the cosmic all
and this confortable situation
in his midst
so affected the marauding robin that he perched
upon a blooming twig
and sang until the
blossoms shook with ecstacy
he sang
i have a good digestion
and there is a god after all
which i was wicked enough to doubt
yesterday when it rained'''
