“I
can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and
live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want.
And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations
of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly
limited.”

“He
has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who
has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the
love of little children;
Who
has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who
has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who
has left the world better than he found it,
Whether
an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who
has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose
life was an inspiration;
Whose
memory a benediction.”

encumbered with your old nonsense.”
