“Life runs in a narrow path to balancing act, convincing tact, and satisfying fact.”
“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”
“life is too narrow to walk in but wide to run throw”
“Life is a narrow valley, and the roads run close together”
“The worst of having so much tact was that you never quite knew whether other people were acting naturally or being tactful too.[The human element]”
“You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.”
