“Sure must be a great consolation to the poor people who lost their stock in the late crash to know that it has fallen in the hands of Mr. Rockefeller, who will take care of it and see that it has a good home and never be allowed to wander around unprotected again. There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war or famine, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it.” PeopleKnowsWarHelpingHomeHandsCareLostPoorBusinessRichLateTake CareWanderFallenCrashConsolationPoor PeopleCalamityGet RichFaminePestilence Book:Will Rogers' Daily Telegrams: The Coolidge years, 1926-1929 Source: Will Rogers' Daily Telegrams: The Coolidge years, 1926-1929
“I don't get what's happening to Jose Mourinho of late. He's lapsing into the kind of Portuguese moroseness you get from staring at the Atlantic horizon and imagining you're the last place in the world, while listening to endless renditions of the fado.

“Every thing, even the so-called timesaving device and energy-efficient machine, comes these days with an elaborate set of instructions for its care and feeding. Buying a machine has become more and more like buying a pet. ... We are time-crunched. Not just by the number of things we have to do, but the number of things we have. In the late twentieth century, things have become our new dependents.” CareEnergyNumbersCenturyLateMachinesThese DaysBuyingPetDevicesInstructionEfficientFeedingTwentieth Century Author:Ellen Goodman
“I think what tends to embarrass me most is how much I struggle at the little things that seem to come so easily to most people, mainly involving routine and self-care. It's hard for me to do things like cook a meal, not be in a constant apocalyptically late rush everywhere I go, to put something back when I'm finished with it. I seem to be hardwired for chaos and disorganization.” PeopleThinkingLittlesSelfHardSeemsCareStruggleLateConstantChaosFinishedCooksMealsLittle ThingsRoutineSelf CareInvolvingBack WhenDisorganization Author:Alissa Nutting
