“Luck is always waiting for something to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, always turns up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman will bring news of a legacy. Labor turns out at six o'clock and with busy pen or ringing hammer, lays the foundation of a competence. Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck relies on chance, labor on character.” CharacterEyeLyingTurnsStrongWishWaitingWorkChanceBedSixNewsLaborLuckFoundationLaysBusyLegacyClockRelyPensHammersCompetenceStrong WillPostmanWaiting For SomethingAlways Waiting Author:Richard Cobden
“I had always made pictures as I thought I saw the world, focusing on what lay in front, but this is not how one sees the world. It only frames the centre and cuts off the lateral vision, which lies unfocused.

“Always the idea of unbroken quiet broods around the grave. It is a port where the storms of life never beat, and the forms that have been tossed on its chafing waves lie quiet forevermore. There the child nestles as peacefully as ever it lay in its mother's arms, and the workman's hands lie still by his side, and the thinker's brain is pillowed in silent mystery, and the poor girl's broken heart is steeped in a balm that extracts its secret woe, and is in the keeping of a charity that covers all blame.” HeartChildrenHas BeensStillsIdeasHandsFormLyingMotherGirlSidesPoorSecretBrainMysteryBrokenArmsQuietBeatsBlameLaysSilentCharityWaveStormGravesThinkerWoePortUnbrokenWorkmenStorms Of LifeChafing Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin

“Château and hut, stone face and dangling figure, the red stain on the stone floor, and the pure water in the village well-thousands of acres of land-a whole province of France-all France itself-lay under the night sky, concentrated into a faint hairbreadth line.
