Warren G. Harding Quotes

I like stability.

Reconstruction requires security and security requires reconstruction.

Forward to the peaceful tranquility of the status quo.

Familiar things are a comfort to us all.

There is comfort in routine.

Chaos is the first condition. Order is the first law. Continuity is the first reflection. Quietude is the first happiness.

I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality.

Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things.

The great advantage of being in a rut is that when one is in a rut, one knows exactly where one is.

I want to try to keep my life the same.

It's all about consistency, and what makes a child or a dog secure: order, clarity - all those things.

I'm always preparing for a regular life.

I'd like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it's never going to be completely normal.

I guess I crave stability.

I'm quite calm when all is well.

A child wants some kind of undisrupted routine or rhythm. He seems to want a predictable, orderly world.

What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing! It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure; it has a mathematical certainty in a world where those of us who long for some kind of certainty are forced to settle for crossword puzzles.

I was feeling safe. Not the kind of safe where you know there are still bad things howling outside the door waiting to get in. No, it was the kind of safe where you sink down in your bed at the end of the day and know you can go to sleep and everything is going to be the same tomorrow.

If they just carried on like always, everything would be ok.

The monotony of staying in one place is the best thing for writing a novel. Having regular habits, a kind of security, but especially no big surprises, no shocks.

I like to stay in the rhythm of things.

I like time ticking the way it is.

I like predictability because I know what I'm getting into.

No one welcomes chaos, but why crave stability and predictability?
