Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does

Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. -George Bernard Shaw.
