Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking.
There is timing in everything. Timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a great deal of practice.
When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that's my religion.
Let it not be in any man's power to say truly of thee that thou art not simple or that thou art not good; but let him be a liar whoever shall think anything of this kind about thee; and this is altogether in thy power.
