Cans Quotes (page 1063)

We can never get rid of mouse-ideas completely, they keep turning up again and again, and nibble, nibble--no matter how often we drive them off. The best way to keep them down is to have a few good strong cat-ideas which will embrace them and ensure their not reappearing till they do so in another shape. Samuel Butler
Heads in the Women's Ward. On pillow after pillow lies. The wild white hair and staring eyes; Jaws stand open; necks are stretched. With every tendon sharply sketched; A bearded mouth talks silently. To someone no one else can see. Sixty years ago they smiled. At lover, husband, first-born child. Smiles are for youth. For old age come. Death's terror and delirium. Philip Larkin

The marriage partner is not really the problem. No other person can ultimately make you happy. You must learn how to be happy within yourself. Joel Osteen
The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble. Nancy Mitford
George W. Bush quote: "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop..."
I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive. George W. Bush
One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again. Abraham Maslow
Anne Lamott quote: "since you can't heal your own sick mind with your own sick..."
...since you can't heal your own sick mind with your own sick mind, I needed to consult somebody else's sick mind. Anne Lamott
..which should teach you something about this world. That it's a place where whatever you work for and care about is bound to be taken away from you sooner or later, and there isn't a thing you can do about it. Clive Barker
If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door- or i'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present. Rabindranath Tagore
Mark Twain quote: "You can't throw too much style into a miracle."
You can't throw too much style into a miracle. Mark Twain
Among many morals which press upon us from the poor minister's miserable experience, we put only this into sentence: Be True! Be True! Be True! Show freely to the world if not the worst, yet some trait whereby the worst can be inferred. Nathaniel Hawthorne
