Quote by Tennessee Williams

Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching.

Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for i

Summary

This quote suggests that success cannot be achieved by focusing too much on it or constantly planning for it. In fact, it argues that success is elusive and hesitant, and does not reveal itself when one is too fixated on its pursuit. Instead, it implies that success may only be obtained when one embraces a more indirect and relaxed approach, allowing it to come naturally, without constant observation or anticipation.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,Makes cowards out

To sin by silence, when we should protest,Makes cowards out of men. The human raceHas climbed on protest. Had no voice been raisedAgainst injustice, ignorance, and lust,The inquisition yet would serve the law,And guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak againTo right the wrongs of many. Speech, thank God,No vested power in this great day and landCan gag or throttle. Press and voice may cryLoud disapproval of existing ills;May criticise oppression and condemnThe lawlessness of wealth-protecting lawsThat let the children and childbearers toilTo purchase ease for idle millionaires. Therefore I do protest against the boastOf independence in this mighty land. Call no chain strong, which holds one rusted link. Call no land free, that holds one fettered slave. Until the manacled slim wrists of babesAre loosed to toss in childish sport and glee,Until the mother bears no burden, saveThe precious one beneath her heart, untilGods soil is rescued from the clutch of greedAnd given back to labor, let no manCall this the land of freedom.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Before Huey was 5, I could take him to work with me. Now, though, he has sports and lessons and friends, and it's not fair to remove him from his whole life.
