My life is a series of things that just happen.
There will be great presidents again but there will never be another Camelot.
I have been through a lot and have suffered a great deal. But I have had lots of happy moments, as well. Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.
We should all do something to right the wrongs that we see and not just complain about them.

If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.
If you want things to be right, you have to do them yourself
I should deem a man-of-war incomplete without a body of Marines. . . imbued with that esprit that has so long characterized the "Old Corps. "
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves.

You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again.
I have made a solemn vow never to send my drawings because people have cheated me. In particular, just today I found. . . that, having done a drawing of souls in Purgatory for the Bishop of St. Gata, he, in order to spend less, commissioned another painter to do the painting using my work. If I were a man, I can't imagine it would have turned out this way.
