There is something in the red of a raspberry pie that looks as good to a man as the red in a sheep looks to a wolf.

Put cream and sugar on a fly and it tastes very much like a raspberry.

Every successful person I have heard of has done the best he could with the conditions as he found them, and not waited until next year for better.

We are not free, it was not intended we should be. A book of rules is placed in our cradle, and we never get rid of it until we reach our graves. Then we are free, and only then.
