Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.

Disappointment is just the chance to start once more, this time all the more insightfully.

That the Devil finds work for idle hands to do is probably true. But there is a profound difference between leisure and idleness.

For thirty years I have leaned toward the theory of Reincarnation. It seems a most reasonable philosophy and explains many things. No, I have no desire to know what, or who I was once; or what, or who, I shall be in the ages to come. This belief in immortality makes present living the more attractive. It gives you all the time there is. You will always be able to finish what you start. There is no fever or strain in such an outlook. We are here in life for one purpose: to get experience. We are all getting it, and we shall all use it somewhere.

If I'd listened to customers, I'd have given them a faster horse.
