Scottish
Poet,
Author and
Travel Writer
"The cruelest lies are often told in silence." "The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish." "Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences." "Everyone lives by selling something." "A friend is a gift you give yourself." "Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." "To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only end of life." "To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying "Amen">to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to keep your soul alive." "To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive." "You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving." "You can kill the body but not the spirit." "You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?"
