More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit whole lot of people seeing double tonight from the disease of conceit give ya delusions of grandeur and a evil eye give you the idea that you're too good to die then they bury you from your head to your feet from the disease of conceit

Wit is artificial; humor is natural. wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation.
Humor Fate Effort
Since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise creator, nothing at all takes place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum does not appear ... there is absolutely no doubt that every affect in the universe can be explained satisfactorily from final causes, by the aid of the method of maxima and minima, as it can be from the effective causes themselves ... of course, when the effective causes are too obscure, but the final causes are readily ascertained, the problem is commonly solved by the indirect method.

Eden is a conversation. it is the conversation of the human with the divine. and it is the reverberations of that conversation that create a sense of place. it is not a thing, eden, but a pattern of relationships, made visible in conversation. to live in eden is to live in the midst of good relations, of just relations scrupulously attended to, imaginatively maintained through time. altogether we call this beauty.
Eden Patterns Divine
Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. it is more exciting to stand still than to dance. silence is more eloquent than speech. water is more stimulating than wine. fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. sunlight is more subtle than electric light. the scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. the slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.
Life Wise Country
Failure is really a matter of conceit. people don't work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. most people believe that they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.

I do not believe there ever was any life more attractive to a vigorous young fellow than life on a cattle ranch in those days. it was a fine, healthy life, too; it taught a man self-reliance, hardihood, and the value of instant decision...i enjoyed the life to the full.

Only a complete moral idiot can believe for an instant that we are fighting against the wretched of the earth. we are fighting, as i said before, against the scum of the earth

But maybe the charm bracelets understood more about life than i did. from an early age they knew what little value the world placed in books, and so didn't waste their time with them. whereas i, even now, persist in believing that these black marks on white paper bear the greatest significance, that if i keep writing, i might be able to catch the rainbow of consciousness in a jar.
