You'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to pry the meaning out of every gust of wind or rain squall. i'm not denying that there might actually be a few signs that you won't want to miss. knowing the difference is the tricky part.

Crazy Rain Wind

More From David Eddings

When you know that something's going to happen, you'll start trying to see signs of its approach in just about everything. always try to remember that most of the things that happen in this world aren't signs. they happen because they happen, and their only real significance lies in normal cause and effect. you'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to pry the meaning out of every gust of wind or rain squall. i'm not denying that there might actually be a few signs that you won't want to miss. knowing the difference is the tricky part.
Lying Crazy Real
And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?
Rain Dark Night
Let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby. the rain makes still pools on the sidewalk. the rain makes running pools in the gutter. the rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night- and i love the rain.

Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it
Philosophy Moon President
The signs that presage growth, so similar, it seems to me, to those in early adolescence: discontent, restlessness, doubt, despair, longing, are interpreted falsely as signs of decay. in youth one does not as often misinterpret the signs; one accepts them, quite rightly, as growing pains. one takes them seriously, listens to them, follows where they lead. ... but in the middle age, because of the false assumption that it is a period of decline, one interprets these life-signs, paradoxically, as signs of approaching death.
Pain Doubt Growth
I won't miss having to stand for two hours at 4:30 a.m. and have freezing cold glue applied to my feet. i won't miss two-hour drives to work or long, long, long days sitting in my trailer waiting...waiting...waiting. i won't miss one day off a week. i won't miss glue in my ears. but i would do it all again tomorrow.

Similar Quotes
We may define "faith" as the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith." we do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. we only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence. the substitution of emotion for evidence is apt to lead to strife, since different groups, substitute different emotions.

We do not live in several different, or even two different, worlds, a mental world and a physical world, a scientific world and a world of common sense. rather, there is just one world; it is the world we all live in, and we need to account for how we exist as part of it.
