"It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence." ― Jacques Barzun Topic(s): Morning More From Jacques Barzun "Except among those whose education has been in the minimalist style, it is understood that hasty moral judgments about the past are a form of injustice." "The test and the use of man’s education is that he finds pleasure in the exercise of his mind." "Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence, with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one’s share in the world’s work, and perhaps in addition, lend a hand in improving society, after schooling is done." More In Morning "I literally have meetings at eight o’clock in the morning, and I finish at nine o’clock at night. It sounds pathetic, but I don’t even have time to go shopping."― Stella McCartney "The world is new to us every morning – this is God’s gift; and every man should believe he is reborn each day."― Baal Shem Tov "I’ve been keeping a diary for thirty-three years and write in it every morning. Most of it’s just whining, but every so often there’ll be something I can use later: a joke, a description, a quote. It’s an invaluable aid when it comes to winning arguments. ‘That’s not what you said on February 3, 1996,’ I’ll say to someone."― David Sedaris
