The pine stays green in winter… wisdom in hardship. – Norman Douglas

There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect it bids a man to ponder or create and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide. – Norman Douglas
Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague. – Norman Douglas
You know, many people have said that Im on the edge and Im maverick for some of the big operations that Ive done. Im not at all. I pray I ask God to give me wisdom, Should I do it?, guidance in terms of how to do it, who to consult with. All those kind of things are incredibly important. – Benjamin Carson
