A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Conscience is the root of all true courage; if a man would be brave let him obey his conscience.
I can do small things in a great way.
Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well.
See to do good, and you will find that happiness will run after you.
Strong convictions precede great actions.
The atheist has no hope.
We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.
You could say people are living longer because of the decline in religion. Not many people believe in the hereafter, so they keep going.
Before Truman Capote, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously.
His theory was that non-fiction could be as artful as fiction.
I don't think Capote loved Smith. But he did make a deep connection. It upset some people, because that had never been the approach to journalistic crime writing, to look into the mind of the killer.
In the writing of memoirs, as in the production of shows, too much caution causes the audience to nod and think of other channels.
