All I have told is true, but it is not the whole truth.

The incurable optimism of the farmer who throws his seed on the ground every spring, betting it and his time against the elements, seemed inextricably to blend with the creed of her pioneer forefathers that "it is better farther on"-- only instead of farther on in space, it was farther on in time, over the horizon of the years ahead instead of the far horizon of the west.

No rich man can walk through the eye of a needle.

Every job is good if you do your best and work hard. A man who works hard stinks only to the ones that have nothing to do but smell.

Life begins at eighty.

We are the heirs of the ages; but the estate is entailed, as large estates frequently are, so that while we inherit the earth, the great round world which is God's footstool, we have only the use of it while we live and must pass it on to those come after us. We hold the property in trust and have no right to injure it or to lessen its value. To do so is dishonest, stealing from our heirs their inheritance.

The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.
