George Santayana
A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.

You actually can make it, no matter what...A few minutes ago every tree was excited...I would define, in brief, the poetry of words...A person often meets his destiny on the road...It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law...Almost only counts...
