We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature and especially the ordering of nature it is always ourselves alone we are observing.
Worse there cannot be a better I believe there may be by giving energy to the capital and skill of the country to produce exports by increasing which alone can we flatter ourselves with the prospect of finding employment for that part of our population now unemployed.
We all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself to spend some time alone.

True thoughts are those alone which do not understand themselves.
When thinking about companions gone we feel ourselves doubly alone.
At the beginning and at the end of love the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone.

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves 'where do I want to be today where do I want to be tomorrow and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.
