Quote by Hemingway Ernest

“Do you have that feeling of happiness about what’s going to happen?” Macomber asked, still exploring his new wealth. “You’re not supposed to mention it,” Wilson said, looking in the other’s face. “Much more fashionable to say you’re scared. Mind you, you’ll be scared too, plenty of times.” “But you have a feeling of happiness about action to come?” “Yes,” said Wilson. “There’s that. Doesn’t do to talk too much about all this. Talk the whole thing away. No pleasure in anything if you mouth it up too much. - The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, from The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway”

Leo’s pants promptly fell around his knees. He stared at Passalos, who was now grinning and holding a small zigzaggy strip of metal. Somehow, the dwarf had stolen the zipper right off Leo’s pants. “Give—stupid—zipper!” Leo stuttered, trying to shake his fist and hoist up his pants at the same time. “Eh, not shiny enough.” Passalos tossed it away.”

“Be a hero to the generations to come. Let them know that you did your best to tackle the problems that existed in your time. Let them realize how you made a substantial effort to do what is right. Let them notice that you stood up when it mattered. That you inspired change even when it was tough. Let them see how you left behind a legacy of courage, compassion, conviction, and collaboration without any fear or doubt. Let your actions resonate through the echoes of time and ignite a flame of hope in their hearts. Let it empower them to be courageous and rise to the challenges of their era as they continue forward.”
