Ernest Hemingway Day Quotations

To be a successful father... there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years.

Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.

Every day above earth is a good day.

The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.

Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.

Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be.

I always worked until I had something done and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day.

If my Valentine you won't be, I'll hang myself on your Christmas tree.

You read what you have written and, as you always stop when you know what is going to happen next, you go on from there. You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit it again.

The only thing that can ruin a good day is people.

Each day of not writing, of comfort, of being that which he despised, dulled his ability and softened his will to work so that, finally, he did no work at all.

Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today. It's been that way all this year. It's been that way so many times. All of war is that way.

Wearing down seven number two pencils is a good day's work.
