"Hugh laughed again, and with such thorough abandonment to his mad humour, that his limbs seemed dislocated, and his whole frame in danger of tumbling to pieces; but Mr Tappertit, so far from receiving this extreme merriment with any irritation, was pleased to regard it with the utmost favour, and even to join in it, so far as one of his gravity and station could, with any regard to that decency and decorum which men in high places are expected to maintain."

"Some credit in being jolly."

"Go then merrily to Heaven."

"As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious."

"Periere mores, jus, decus, pietas, fides, Et qui redire nescit, cum perit, pudor."

"The absence of lost things is felt most painfully when the things you possess stop providing satisfaction."

"With each loss, new buds of victory unfold in our hearts."

"Si quis mutuum quid dederit, sit pro proprio perditum; Cum repetas, inimicum amicum beneficio invenis tuo. Si mage exigere cupias, duarum rerum exoritur optio; Vel illud, quod credideris perdas, vel illum amicum, amiseris."

"That puts it not unto the touch To win or lose it all."

"Miserias properant suas Audire miseri."

"Ignis aurum probat, misera fortes viros."

"Frei geht das Unglück durch die ganze Erde!"

"The child of misery, baptized in tears!"

"Il ne se faut jamais moquer des misérables, Car qui peut s'assurer d'être toujours heureux?"

"That to live by one man's will became the cause of all men's misery."

"This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel."

"Levis est consolatio ex miseria aliorum."

"Quæque ipse misserrima vidi, et quorum pars magna fui."

"How can we drop negativity, as you suggest? By dropping it. How do you drop a piece of hot coal that you are holding in your hand? How do you drop some heavy and useless baggage that you are carrying? By recognizing that you don't want to suffer the pain or carry the burden anymore and then letting go of it."

"Your unhappiness is polluting not only your own inner being and those around you but also the collective human psyche of which you are an inseparable part. The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space. Either stop doing what you are doing, speak to the person concerned and express fully what you feel, or drop the negativity that your mind has created around the situation and that serves no purpose whatsoever except to strengthen a false sense of self. Recognizing its futility is important. Negativity is never the optimum way of dealing with any situation. In fact, in most cases it keeps you stuck in it, blocking real change. Anything that is done with negative energy will become contaminated by it and in time give rise to more pain, more unhappiness. Furthermore, any negative inner state is contagious: Unhappiness spreads more easily than a physical disease. Through the law of resonance, it triggers and feeds latent negativity in others, unless they are immune - that is, highly conscious. Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space; nobody else is... p. 53"

"The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life. The pain that you create now is always some form of non acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind. The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it. In other words, the more you are identified with your mind, the more you suffer. Or you may put it like this: the more you are able to honor and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering - and free of the egoic mind. p. 26"

"it was just as important to me to recognize loss and turmoil just as I chose to share joy...I believe it is just as important to highlight and memorialize all aspects of our world and cultures. To me, it is important not to bury the shame and trauma caused by the issues you ask about."

"The joy of losing consists in this: Where there are no expectations, there is no disappointment."

"Beaten paths are for beaten men."

"Our wasted oil unprofitably burns, Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns."

"Losers must have leave to speak."

"LOSS, n. Privation of that which we had, or had not. Thus, in the latter sense, it is said of a defeated candidate that he "lost his election"; and of that eminent man, the poet Gilder, that he has "lost his mind." It is in the former and more legitimate sense, that the word is used in the famous epitaph:"

"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost!"

"A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself."

"It is inconceivable that something is lost forever."

"Wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss, But cheerly seek how to redress their harms."

"Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain, Thou art gone, and forever!"

"The Tigers put up a fine fight and, darn it, I did feel sorry for 'em in their dressing room, nobody slappin' 'em on the back; in fact, nobody in there but them. Game Mickey Cochrane sitting there, just removing bandage after bandage from almost all over himself. Real he-men; in a real he-man's game, with almost tears in their eyes; but not squawking—they just said "Old 'Diz' had everything." I can applaud a winner as loud as anyone, but somehow a loser appeals to me."

"One wonders whether a generation that demands instant satisfaction of all its needs and instant solution of the world’s problems will produce anything of lasting value. Such a generation, even when equipped with the most modern technology, will be essentially primitive - it will stand in awe of nature, and submit to the tutelage of medicine men."

"I am on fire To hear this rich reprisal is so nigh And yet not ours."

"Whereas we tell the workers: You have to go through 15, 20, 50 years of civil wars and national struggles, not only in order to change conditions but also to change yourselves and make yourselves capable of political rule; you, on the contrary, say: "We must come to power immediately, or else we may as well go to sleep.""

"I wish, and I wish that the spring would go faster, Nor long summer bide so late; And I could grow on like the foxglove and aster, For some things are ill to wait."

"Sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart."

"The soul of music slumbers in the shell, Till wak'd and kindled by the master's spell, And feeling hearts touch them but lightly—pour A thousand melodies unheard before!"
