The Four Ages of Man

He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright.

Then he struggles with the heart;
Innocence and peace depart.

Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.

Now his wars on God begin’
At stroke of midnight God shall win.

William Butler Yeats

From thirty feet away, she looked like a lot of class. From ten feet away, she looked like something made up to be seen from thirty feet away.

Mark Schweizer, The Baritone Wore Chifon (The     Liturgical     Mysteries series)

Nothing is so aggravating as calmness.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, steer a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
