Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.
Robert Fulghum
Image
Desire is the intangible quality that has more impact on success than talent, education, or IQ. You can't see desire, but you can feel its presence, and see its results in the lives of successful people.

Image
Love the battle between chaos and imagination. Remember: Acting is living truthfully in imaginary circumstances. Remember: Acting is the way to live the greatest number of lives. Remember: Acting is the same as real life, lived intentionally. Never forget: The Fruit is out on the end of the limb. Go there.

I talk about very serious human affairs but with a lightness of heart.
Robert Fulghum
Image
Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.

About winning and losing: It isn't important, what really counts is how you play the game. About playing the game: PLAY TO WIN!

I often say that I don't worry about the meaning of life-I can't handle that big stuff. What concerns me is the meaning in life-day by day, hour by hour, while I'm doing whatever it is I do. What counts is not what I do, but how I think about myself while I'm doing it.

As one old gentleman put it, Son, I don't care if you're stark nekkid and wear a bone in your nose. If you kin fiddle, you're all right with me. It's the music we make that counts.

Sometimes history knocks at the most ordinary door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes someone is.

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

I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances.
Robert Fulghum
Image
Just when you thought that you already learned the way how to live, life changes - and you're left the same as you begun.

A giraffe has a black tongue twenty-seven inches long and no vocal cords. A giraffe has nothing to say. He just goes on giraffing.

So you drive as far as you can, even when you can clearly read the sign. You want to think you are exempt, that it doesn’t apply to you. But it does. Life is still a dead end. And we still have a hard time believing it

The leaves let go, the seeds let go, and I must let go sometimes, too, and cast my lot with another of nature’s imperfect but tenacious survivors.

The examined life is no picnic.

Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there at the sandpile at Sunday School.
Robert Fulghum
Image
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?.

The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
