Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. I have several stands around here.
Learn of the little nautilus to sail, Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale.
Ain't nothing out here but me, the road, and the radio
Lookin' for an exit, and a song that I might know
Countin' down the memories, addin' up the miles
Searching for a feeling, that I ain't felt in a while.

Thoreau writes: There is a solid bottom everywhere. We read that the traveller asked the boy if the swamp before him had a hard bottom. The boy replied that it had. But presently the traveller's horse sank in up to the girths,and he observed to the boy, "I thought you said that this bog had a hard bottom." "So it has," answered the latter, "but you have not got half way to it yet." So it is with the bogs and quicksands of society; but he is an old boy that knows it.
Leaves of three, leave'm be.
The object of reflection is invariably the discovery of something satisfying to the mind which was not there at the beginning of the search.
