Life's but a day at most.

Life's but a day at most.

Summary

This quote suggests that life is fleeting and temporary, emphasizing the brevity and transient nature of human existence. It implies that our time on Earth is limited, making the present moment critically important.

I believe women are too hard on themselves. I believe that when you love someone, she becomes beautiful to you. I believe the eyes see everything through the heart. Nothing in the world feels as good as resting them on someone you love.

I'm beginning to understand myself. But it would have been great to be able to understand myself when I was 20 rather than when I was 82.

An Athenian citizen does not neglect the state because he takes care of his own household; and even those of us who are engaged in business have a very fair idea of politics. We alone regard a man who takes no interest in public affairs, not as a harmless, but as a useless character, and if few of us are originators, we are all sound judges of a policy.

If school success were a reliable index of human capacity, we should be able to go a step further and say that the intelligence test is a general measure of human capacity. But of course no such claim can be made for school success, for that would be to say that the purpose of the schools is to measure capacity. It is impossible to admit this. The childÂ’s success with school work cannot be a measure of a childÂ’s success in life. On the contrary, his success in life must be a significant measure of the schoolÂ’s success in developing the capacities of the child. If a child fails in school and then fails in life, the school cannot sit back and say: you see how accurately I predicted this. Unless we are to admit that education is essentially impotent, we have to throw back the childÂ’s failure at the school, and describe it as a failure not by the child but by the school.http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5172/

You know, the media and politicians are always gonna be in a bit of tension with one another and probably most of the time that's healthy and indeed even creative. But it's where - it's really when news organisations are used as kind of instruments of politics that it gets tricky.

I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.
