Long Life Is Enough

More From Martha Gellhorn

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

Some days felt longer than other days. some days felt like two whole days. unfortunately those days were never weekend days. our saturdays and sundays passed in half the time of a normal workday. in other words, some weeks it felt like we worked ten straight days and had only one day off.

Nine requisites for contented living: health enough to make work a pleasure. wealth enough to support your needs. strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. faith enough to make real the things of god. hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

It's not enough to have a dream, unless you're willing to pursue it. it's not enough to know what's right, unless you're strong enough to do it. it's not enough to learn the truth, unless you also learn to live it. it's not enough to reach for love, unless you care enough to give it men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them.
Dream Courage Strong
Everybody knows that everybody dies. but not every day. not today. some days are special. some days are so, so blessed. some days, nobody dies at all. now and then, every once in a very long while, every day in a million days, when the wind stands fair and the doctor comes to call, everybody lives.

But it is possible, it is possible: the old grief, by a great mystery of human life, gradually passes into quiet, tender joy; instead of young, ebullient blood comes a mild, serene old age: i bless the sun's rising each day and my heart sings to it as before, but now i love its setting even more, its long slanting rays, and with them quiet, mild, tender memories, dear images from the whole of a long and blessed life--and over all is god's truth, moving, reconciling, all-forgiving!

In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. by myself i am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; i want other lights than my own to show all his facets... hence true friendship is the least jealous of loves. two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. they can then say, as the blessed souls say in dante, "here comes one who will augment our loves." for in this love "to divide is not to take away.
