Quotations - January 2007

One of the most tragic things I know about
human nature is that all of us tend to put off
living. We dream of some magical rose garden
over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses
that are blooming outside our window today.
-Dale Carnegie

---------------
As gold more splendid from the fire appears;
Thus friendship brightens by the length of
years.
-Thomas Carlyle

---------------
He drew a circle that shut me
out,
Heretic, rebel, a thing to
flout.
But love and I had the wit to
win;
We drew a circle that took him in.
-Edwin Markham

--------------------
Finish every day and be done with it. You have
done what you could. Some blunders and ab-
surdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon
as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it
well and serenely and with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with you old nonsense. This
day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations, to waste a mo-
ment on the yesterdays.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

--------
Life is a gift to be used every day
Not to be smothered and hidden
away.
It is not a thing to be stored in
the chest
Where you gather you keepsakes
and treasure you best.
It isn’t a joy to be sipped now and
then
And promptly put back in a dark
place again.
Life is a gift that the humblest
may boast of.
Get out and live it each hour of
the day,
Wear it and use it as much as you
may;
Don’t keep it in niches and corners
and grooves,
You’ll find that in service its beauty
improves.
-Edgar A. Guest

"At the sound of the first droning of the shells we rush back, in one part of our being, a thousand years. By the animal instinct that is awakened in us we are led and protected. It is not conscious; it is far quicker, much more sure, less fallible, than consciousness...It is this other, this second sight in us, that has thrown us to the ground and saved us, without our knowing how...We march up, moody or good-tempered soldiers--we reach the zone where the front begins and become on the instant human animals."

P.S. Thanks to whoever answers this question.

"Only two people in history have ever volunteered to die for you. Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul the other for your freedom."

I need to do a close reading analysis and I need help:

"I stepped forward and took Ultima’s hand. I looked up into her clear brown eyes and shivered. Her face was old and wrinkled, but her eyes were clear and sparkling, like the eyes of a young child. A cry came to my throat, and I wanted to shout in the beauty I had found."

Epistola san Iudae, et superscriptio Iohannis duas in catholica habentur; et Sapientia ab amicis Salomonis in honorem ipsius scripta.

-Muratorian Canon (170 AD) full text here: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/muratorian-latin.html

Specifically, I am engaged in a debate over whether 'ipsius' is referring to Solomon alone, or to Solomon, John and Jude.

Thank you!!
