Worthy Quote

‎"There seems to be a superstition among many 


thousands 


of our young men and women who hold hands and 
smooch in 


the drive-ins . . that a relationship is a cottage surrounded 


by perpetual hollyhocks to which a perpetually young and 


handsome husband comes home to a perpetually young and 


beautiful wife. When the holly hocks wither and boredom & 


bills appear, the divorce courts are jammed... Anyone who 


imagines that bliss in marriage is normal is going to waste a 


lot of time running around shouting that he has been 


robbed.


 The fact is . . . most putts don't drop. Most beef is tough. 


Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful 


marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most 


jobs are more often dull than otherwise . . . Life is like an 


old-time rail journey -- delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, 


cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful 


vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the 


Lord for letting you have the ride."
