Mark Helprin Quote

Belief is a wonderful way to pass the time until the facts come in.

Live your life in such a way that you'll be remembered for your kindness, compassion, fairness, character, benevolence, and a force for good who had much respect for life, in general.

Pragmatism is good prevention for problems.

We are the sum total of the decisions we have made.

Do you know what you get when you try to escape? When you drive for miles in a deserted city or swim for hours in a shoreless sea? You get yourself.

Be content with what you have;rejoice in the way things are.When you realize there is nothing lacking,the whole world belongs to you.

If you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;!

Lovers tend to be philosophical, achievers are practical.

In meetings philosophy might work,on the field practicality works.

If an infant had the capacity to think hard about this world, it would have wanted to go back to its mother's womb again
