The great miraculous bell of translucent ice is suspended in mid-air. It rings to announce endings and beginnings. And it rings because there is fresh promise and wonder in the skies. Its clear tones resound in the placid silence of the winter day, and echo long into the silver-blue serenity of night. The bell can only be seen at the turning of the year, when the days wind down into nothing, and get ready to march out again. When you hear the bell, you feel a tug at your heart. It is your immortal inspiration.

Georges SimenonIf you take this life to be simply what old religious folks pretend (I mean the effete, gone to seed in a drought, mere human galls stung by the devil once), then all your joy and serenity is reduced to grinning and bearing it. The fact is, you have got to take the world on your shoulders like Atlas, and "put along" with it.

It may make your back ache occasionally, but you will have the satisfaction of hanging it or twirling it to suit yourself.

Mahnaz AfkhamiWarren Buffett is right when he says you should invest as if the market is going to be closed for the next five years.

Iโve felt a sort of serenity in knowing that if Iโve checked and rechecked my work, one plus one still equals two regardless of where a stock trades right after I buy it.
