...unless they send out the Angel Gabriel now, they are toast! T-O-S-T-E. Toast.
Very often, in order to give the impression of being smart, a woman needs to take a stupid look.
The earth will survive our most ingenious folly.
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
— I don't know if that's brave or stupid.
— Sometimes they're one and the same.
Only a fool would spit in a demon’s face and declare victory.
Take up the White Man's burden— — No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper— — The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden— — And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
"Why brought ye us from bondage, "Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden— — Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your Gods and you.
One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.
