A strangely reflective even melancholy day. Is that because unlike our cousins in the northern hemisphere Easter is not associated with the energy and vitality of spring but with the more subdued spirit of autumn?

An idea isn't worth much until a man is found who has the energy and ability to make it work.

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.

It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I'd rather spend my energy smiling.

Tommy Lee Jones is hilarious. I would say if you look at the body of his work the character he is most like is the one in 'The Fugitive.' That's how he talks and jokes. That is the type of energy he has.

You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.

What I lack in energy I have in wisdom.

I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy. If sunbeams were weapons of war we would have had solar energy centuries ago.

The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.

The truth is hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.
