First of all, just to get Diner made would have been an achievement in that I got a chance to direct.
I don't aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven't had a chance to do that.
Many in the world are searching, often intensely, for a source of refreshment that will quench their yearning for meaning and direction in their lives. They crave a cool, satisfying drink of insight and knowledge that will soothe their parched souls.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.

Excess generally causes reaction, and produces a change in the opposite direction, whether it be in the seasons, or in individuals, or in governments.

Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving.
Trying to find my way around the Rayburn building is always a challenge. Combining my poor sense of direction with a confusing design is not good.
The design of those commissioners, frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions, than to the imagined reform of New England.
Education, and I regret to say this as an educator, but there's no indication that education has a direct effect on happiness.
Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific.
