Satire Is Focused Bitterness.

I Learned That It Is The Weak Who Are Cruel, And That Gentleness Is To Be Expected Only From The Strong.

Everyone, In Some Small Sacred Sanctuary Of The Self, Is Nuts.

Where Was It Ever Promised Us That Life On This Earth Can Ever Be Easy, Free From Conflict And Uncertainty, Devoid Of Anguish And Wonder And Pain? Those Who Seek The Folly Of Unrelieved 'happiness'-who Fear Moods, Who Shun Solitude, Who Do Not Know The Diginity Of Occasional Depression-can Find Bliss Easily Enough: In Tranquilizing Pills, Or In Senility. The Purpose Of Life Is Not To Be Happy.

You Can Learn Much About Life From A Checker Game: Surrender One To Take Two; Don't Make Two Moves At One Time; Move Up, Not Down; And When You Reach The Top, You May Move As You Like.

The Purpose Of Life Is To Matter, To Be Productive, To Have It Make A Difference That You Lived At All-using The Talents That God Has Given You For The Betterment Of Others.
