Random quote of the day:

“Earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs;
Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet
Clear of the grave.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Hamatreya”

Random quote of the day:

“If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans.”

—Yiddish proverb

 

I’ve also heard this as: “Man plans, God laughs.”

Which somewhat reminds me of John Lennon’s famous quote: “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.”
