William Feather Quotes

My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good.

There is no injustice without justice coming after, just as there is no night not followed by day.

Seeing somebody get what they earned is always a blessing.

Justice is the very last thing of all wherewith the universe concerns itself. It is equilibrium that absorbs its attention.

Whatever happens - ultimately, life corrects itself.

The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded; every sacrifice is made up; every debt is paid.

The universe is completely balanced and in perfect order. You will always be compensated for everything that you do.

All life is a boomerang. We receive what we give.

In business as in life, sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But over time, if you play long enough, everybody gets what he deserves - good and bad.

See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.

As thou sowest, so shalt thou reap.

When much is taken, something is returned.

Life responds to deserve and not to need.

Tempered, gradual animation, the methodical restrain of sensations and energies, the equilibrium of sickness and health in each creature--this is nature's essence, its immutable law, this is what it's based on and what it adheres to.

In avoiding one vice fools rush into the opposite extreme.

The Crone, the Reaper... She is the Dark Moon, what you don't see coming at you, what you don't get away with, the wind that whips the spark across the fire line. Chance, you could say, or, what's scarier still: the intersection of chance with choices and actions made before. The brush that is tinder dry from decades of drought, the warming of the earth's climate that sends the storms away north, the hole in the ozone layer. Not punishment, not even justice, but consequence.
