how tedious is retirement! You cannot imagine to yourself the monotony with which day comes after day.
Agatha Christie

Where do one's fears come from? Where do they shape themselves? Where do they hide before coming out into the open?
Agatha Christie
Image
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
Agatha Christie
Image
a great man always knows better than to explain unless an explanation is demanded. To rush into explanations and excuses is always a sign of weakness.

The happy people are failures because they are on such good terms with themselves they don't give a damn.
