Quote by William Butler Yeats

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that our experience of wine and love is limited to sensory perception. It suggests that we can only truly know the taste of wine through our mouths and the feeling of love through our eyes. However, the quote also implies that these experiences, while precious, are fleeting and ultimately come to an end as we age and eventually meet death. It highlights the temporary nature of these pleasures and hints at the transient nature of life itself.

I take great comfort in having people around who can walk in

I take great comfort in having people around who can walk in my office and tell me what's on their mind. Part of my job is -- they say, what's your job? My job is decision-maker. I make a lot of decisions. Obviously, some of which you've seen, and a lot of them you don't. And they're big ones and little ones. But you make a lot of decisions. And if you don't -- if you're uncertain about all the facts surrounding a decision, you've got to rely upon people. And you've then got to create an environment in which people are willing to come in and say, here's what's on my mind.It's important at the presidential level. It's important in business. You've got to have people comfortable about saying, Here's what I think you ought to do, Mr. CEO. You've got to listen and have a -- I've always believed in a flat organizational chart.

She cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....Nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.
