I've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living.
Robert Fulghum
Image
I talk about very serious human affairs but with a lightness of heart.

It is the chair in honor of all those who, however competently, embrace the impossible. Sit in that chair someday.
Robert Fulghum
Image
Almost anything can be dealt with if people are of good will and light hearts and strong values.
Robert Fulghum

Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A Beauty Bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.

Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. Making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. Living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. A job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. What do you do?.

Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted. It’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memory. The census doesn’t count it. Nothing counts without it.

Life is lumpy. And a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in a breast are not the same lump. One should learn the difference.

It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.

An artists job is to see. And to go out in the world and see it firsthand, just as it is to report with line and words what is seen. To be in the world, not just study about the world, that is the artists task

Even the finest workman needs to inspect his work critically.

I get tired of hearing it's a crummy world and that people are no damned good. What kind of talk is that? I know a place in Payette, Idaho, where a cook and a waitress and a manager put everything they've got into laying a chicken-fried steak on you.

Imagination is more important than information. Einstein said that, and he should know. And they come. And they look. And we push. And they fly. We to stay and die on our beds. They to go and die howsoever, yet inspiring those who come after them to find their own edge. And fly.

It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.

This is an exercise in power - the power of mind over matter. If you don't mind being inadequate, it doesn't matter.
