Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patience in his hand.

Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patien

Summary

This quote suggests that experience can be likened to a skilled musician playing a dulcimer, a string instrument. The dulcimer requires patience and control to create beautiful melodies. Similarly, experience grants individuals a deeper understanding and wisdom, cultivated over time. With patience, experience can help one navigate life's challenges, providing valuable insights and teachings along the way. Just like a musician conducts the dulcimer skillfully, experience can guide and harmonize our journeys, enriching our perspectives and helping us make more informed decisions.

Our DNA is as a consumer company - for that individual customer who's voting thumbs up or thumbs down. That's who we think about. And we think that our job is to take responsibility for the complete user experience. And if it's not up to par, it's our fault, plain and simply.

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief... for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

When a friend, then, indulges in the joy of unburdening a se

When a friend, then, indulges in the joy of unburdening a secret on to another friend's bosom, he makes the latter, in his turn, feel the urge to taste the same joy himself. He implores him, it is true, not to tell a soul; but if such a condition were taken absolutely literally, it would at once cut off the flow of these joys at their very source. The general practice is for the secret to be confided only to an equally trustworthy friend, the same conditions being imposed on him. And so from trustworthy friend to trustworthy friend the secret goes moving on round that immense chain, until finally it reaches the ears of just the very person or persons whom the first talker had expressly intended it never should reach.
