Haikus - A Small Collection Part A

Most stupidity grows not from timid peasants but hostile servants. If, on occasion, the reason is sufficient, you may enjoy it. A happy party requires preparation. Trouble would never. Keen eyes that see well wear out before the sun sets. All nights have darkness. Abnormalities: Appropriate reactions to normality. Unable to hug a man will drift away from another human. Men are permitted to live and dwell in childhood, but not be childish. Imagination: The mother of invention, not repetition. Seeking the future- sure sign for an escape from the past's betrayals. Advice for slimmers: The fat you lose may well be mostly gray matter. Be superficial, your roots will be embedded beneath the surface. Avoiding contact, not sign of condescension, but simply caution. The best things in life so often are forgotten, because of low cost. He who keeps busy is most often told about forgotten trivia. Wealth may not find you but it is wise to ponder about its merits. It does not matter how big the lie we live with when truth disturbs us. Objectivity: Subjective pair of glasses with various lenses. Those who will tell you a friendly half-truth may be just hostile liars. A frequent liar begins by telling untruths first to his own ears. Look in the mirror, do not expect benevolence, even in darkness. Competing with time may see you come out second. It's stacked against you. Lies are short-legged but time itself has long ones. And they are shapely. I don't have much time, but if I do not take some there will be less yet. On the wrong foot and at the wrong side of the bed, is hardly progress. He who lazily observes the grandfather clock cannot slow the time. Old clocks that function nevertheless will tell us time of the present. Great thoughts may travel into the smallest waste bin, without return fare. The art of thinking though precious gift from Nature, should not be sheltered. It is not easy to communicate the fact that talk is silly. We love loyalty, especially on those days we badly need it. Silent folks are seen and, may I say, too often? As brilliant scholars. Watch for the detail, lest you do not really care about the essence. A silent forest makes big demands on people, to hear its silence. He who collected a thousand leaves in summer enjoys his autumn. Injustice tends to excuse its utter failings by pointing fingers. To free a killer means that the victim can be murdered all over. Injustice cannot prevail without a mandate born in unkindness. Conmen disturb us, they speak a better diction of truth in lending.
