Daily quote |
Victor Hugo (Victor-Marie Hugo)One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range. One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.' Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds. Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal. Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can. Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime. People do not lack strength; they lack will. Perseverance, secret of all triumphs. Prayer is an august avowal of ignorance. Puns are the droppings of soaring wits. |
