~ Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free ~ ~ We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? ~ ~ Our government sprang from and was made for the people -- not the people for the government. To them it owes an allegiance; from them it must derive its courage, strength, and wisdom ~ ~ Our government sprang from and was made for the people -- not the people for the government. To them it owes an allegiance; from them it must derive its courage, strength, and wisdom ~ ~ Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys ~ ~ Our government has become too responsive to trivial or ephemeral concerns, often at the expense of more important concerns or an erosion of our liberty, and it has made policy priorities more dependent on where TV journalists happen to point their cameras.... As a nation we have lost our sense of tragedy, a recognition that bad things happen to good people. A nation that expects the government to prevent churches from burning, to control the price of bread or gasoline, to secure every job, and to find some villain for every dramatic accident, risks an even larger loss of life and liberty. ~ ~ Applause, mingled with boos and hisses, is about all that the average voter is able or willing to contribute to public life ~ ~ To what gulfs
A single deviation from the track
Of human duties leads even those who claim
The homage of mankind as their born due,
And find it, till they forfeit it themselves! ~ ~ If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism. ~ ~ Chili represents your three stages of matter: solid, liquid, and eventually gas ~ ~ It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician. ~ ~ Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit ~ |
