When people shake their heads because we are living in a restless age, ask them how they would like to life in a stationary one, and do without change.
Life is one long struggle to disinter oneself, to keep one's head above the accumulations, the ever deepening layers of objects ... Which attempt to cover one over, steadily, almost irresistibly, like falling snow.
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
If your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you another, before you do anything, you should first decide whether you have a better head or a better heart.
