“But if we are talking in terms of making progress in life, we must understand that "good enough" is very different from "best.”

“To understand the nature of the Revolution we must call it "progress"; and we may define progress by the word "tomorrow".”

“Life should be good - Life should be very, very good - and the only duty we have to the dead is to make it good for ourselves and other people.”

“One of the very best things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.”

“It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required.”

“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different. ”
