“Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a seed. Up there came a flower, The people said, a weed.”

“Most people will do the right thing; if they can afford too.”

“Judgments are the only possible cause of unhappiness and happiness.”

“You can know a lot and still be stupid.”

“If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.”

“Always give your resume of good deeds when you run into someone that you wronged many years ago. They simply need to know today’s version of you, before they judge you on yesterday’s news.”

“Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.”

“Can you be happy with the movies, and the ads, and the clothes in the stores, and the doctors, and the eyes as you walk down the street all telling you there is something wrong with you? No. You cannot be happy. Because, you poor darling baby, you believe them.”

“We are more severe judges of our own acts… We judge our thoughts, our intents, our secret curses, our secret hates, not only our acts.”

“From this point forward, you don’t even know how to quit in life.”~ Aaron Lauritsen, ‘100 Days Drive”
