Chance Quote by Harry Emerson Fosdick
“The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this. Irritations set into his shell. He does not like them. But when he cannot get ride of them, he uses the irritation to do the loveliest thing an oyster ever has a chance to do. If there are irritations in our lives today, there is only one prescription: make a pearl. It may have to be a pearl of patience, but anyhow, make a pearl. And it takes faith and I love to do it.”

![“If you don't love life you can't enjoy an oyster; there is a shock of freshness to it and intimations of the ages of man, some piercing intuition of the sea and all its weeds and breezes. [They] shiver you for a split second.” quote by Eleanor Clark](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c6a/eleanor-clark-30764_age_if-you-don-t-love-life-you-can-t-enjoy-a_1276282.jpg)
