As i accepted the change of the golden hair of my childhood to the reddish-brown hair of my youth without regret, so i also accept my silver hair-and i am ready to accept the time when my hair and the rest of my clay garment returns to the dust from which it came, while my spirit goes on to freer living. it is the season for my hair to be silver, and each season has its lessons to teach. each season of life is wonderful if you have learned the lessons of the season before. it is only when you go on with lessons unlearned that you wish for a return.

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

When the spirit came to moses, the plagues came upon egypt, and he had power to destroy men's lives; when the spirit came upon elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the spirit came upon gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon joshua, he moved around the city of jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the spirit came upon the son of man, he gave his life; he healed the broken-hearted.

The vineyard country, russet, reddish, carmine-brown in this season. a blue outline of hills above a fertile valley. it's warm as long as the sun does not set, in the shade cold returns. a strong sauna and then swimming in a pool surrounded by trees. dark redwoods, transparent pale-leved birches. in their delicate network, a sliver of the moon. i describe this for i have learned to doubt philosophy and the visible world is all that remains.

You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.

Time is a lot of the things people say that god is. there's always preexisting, and having no end. there's the notion of being all powerful-because nothing can stand against time, can it? not mountains, not armies. and time is, of course, all-healing. give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. ashes to ashes, dust to dust. remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. and if time is anything akin to god, i suppose that memory must be the devil.

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. if you do so, you'll put a touch of glory in your life. if you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces.
