People, of all ages, are far more open than you might think to being moved in new ways.
Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.
This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.
