Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each one a stroke of genius
or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage, they form at last a
rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details
adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dew-drops which give such
a depth to the morning meadows.

I dwell in Possibility
A fairer House than Prose
More numerous of Windows
Superior--for Doors
Of Chambers as the Cedars
Impregnable of Eye
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky
Of Visitors--the fairest
For Occupation--This
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise

Children, you must remember something. A man without ambition is dead.
A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love
for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.

If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds,
they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the
things they failed to obtain.

Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief
happiness which this world affords: but, like all other pleasures immoderately
enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain; and
expectations improperly indulged, must end in disappointment. If it be asked, what
is the improper expectation which it is dangerous to indulge,
experience will quickly answer, that it is such expectation as is dictated not
by reason, but by desire; expectation raised, not by the common
occurrences of life, but by the wants of the expectant; an expectation that
requires the common course of things to be changed, and the general rules
of action to be broken.
- Samuel Johnson, "J. Boswell "The Life of Samuel Johnson"", 1784

Have you ever read "A Canticle for Leibowitz?"
It's a really good book. It's confusing though. ;-)
This quote somehow reminded me of the novel.

We live in a world which is full of misery and ignorance, and the plain duty of each and all of us is to try to make the little corner he can influence somewhat less miserable and somewhat less ignorant than it was before he entered it.
