Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such Henry Miller
Most men unconsciously judge the world from themselves, and it will be very generally found that those who sneer habitually at human nature, and affect to despise it, are among its worst and least pleasant samples. Charles Dickens
