Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes

The general rule, at least, is that while property may be regulated to a certain extent, if regulation goes too far it will be recognized as a taking.

Summary

This quote implies that while it is acceptable for the government to impose regulations on property, there is a limit to how far these regulations can go. If the regulations surpass this limit and excessively restrict the rights of property owners, it can be seen as a violation of their rights and considered a "taking" by the government. This suggests that there should be a balance between regulating property for public purposes and respecting the rights of individual property owners.

You will achieve grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals

You will achieve grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day -- not long and difficult projects, but chores that will take you, step by step, toward your rainbow. Write them down, if you must, but limit your list so that you won't have to drag today's undone matters into tomorrow. Remember that you cannot build your pyramid in twenty-four hours. Be patient. Never allow your day to become so cluttered that you neglect your most important goal -- to do the best you can, enjoy this day, and rest satisfied with what you have accomplished.

I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like John Ford and Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, and also some very modern directors like The Coen Brothers. The directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. They do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.
