“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”
William Morris
“For, he that expects nothing shall not be disappointed, but he that expects much - if he lives and uses that in hand day by day - shall be full to running over.”
Edgar Cayce
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
Mark Twain
“Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?”
Benjamin Franklin
“Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never”
“As time begins to pass, I have come to find that what I thought was, wasn't what I thought was so.”
Astraea L. Skylar
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
