Mexico, Mexico - a good place to die is Mexico, under a harsh blue sky ... an excellent place to die, come some day and try
Life was waiting and three meals a day
I was not writing, though I had been told solemnly that my job was writing, wear down one whole pencil to the butt every day
The tropical day as an allegory of life, starting in coolness and cleanliness and Edenic beauty and too soon continuing with sweat and the feel of grubbiness and the shirt and shoes already defiled
Novels are really made out of day to day experience
APRIL 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward, it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose misapplication of the word. Consider the flea!--incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage. Whether you are asleep or awake he will attack you, caring nothing for the fact that in bulk and strength you are to him as are the massed armies of the earth to a sucking child; he lives both day and night and all days and nights in the very lap of peril and the immediate presence of death, and yet is no more afraid than is the man who walks the streets of a city that was threatened by an earthquake ten centuries before. When we speak of Clive, Nelson, and Putnam as men who didn't know what fear was, we ought always to add the flea--and put him at the head of the procession.
Fish and visitors stink after three days.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

If you're not afraid to face the music you may some day lead
May you live all the days of your life.
Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a good day.
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
I would rather lose in a cause that will someday win, than win in a cause that will someday lose.
It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
You have to decide at the end of the day if you can live with yourself.
What I do today is important because I am paying a day of my life for it. What I accomplish must be worthwhile because the price is high.
If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what was
This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
