~ Half the interest of a garden is the constant exercise of the imagination. ~ ~ Like a big mountain, a small garden stimulates, restores, and delights us, just as it poses challenges, promotes mastery, provides exercise and relieves monotony ~ ~ Business more than any other occupation is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight. ~ ~ Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence. ~ ~ We have seen the mere distinction of colour made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man ~ ~ We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute ~ ~ That the General Assembly of Virginia, doth unequivocally express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of this State, against every aggression either foreign or domestic ... That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them. ~ ~ Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members; and every government, which as not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind ~ ~ I see,... and with the deepest affliction, the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that, too, by constructions which, if legitimate, leave no limits to their power... It is but too evident that the three ruling branches of the Federal government are in combination to strip their colleagues, the State authorities, of the powers reserved by them, and to exercise themselves all functions foreign and domestic ~ ~ Every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact casus non faederis to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits. Without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them ~ ~ Breadbaking is one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells... there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel, that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread ~ ~ For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God: and are
become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a
babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good
and evil. ~ ~ The art of meditation may be exercised at all hours, and in all places; and men of genius, in their walks, at table, and amidst assemblies, turning
the eye of the mind inwards, can form an artificial solitude; retired amidst a crowd, calm amidst distraction, and wise amidst folly. ~ ~ Meditation is that exercise of the mind by which it recalls a known truth,--as some kinds of creatures do their food; to be ruminated upon. ~ ~ Divinely bent to meditation; And in no worldly suits would he be mov'd, To draw him from his holy exercise. ~ ~ Golf is essentially an exercise in masochism conducted out-of-doors. ~ ~ Golf is not just an exercise; it's an adventure, a romance... a Shakespeare play in which disaster and comedy are intertwined. ~ ~ Golf is an exercise in Scottish pointlessness for people who are no longer able to throw telephone poles at each other ~ ~ Golf is a wonderful exercise. You can stand on your feet for hours, watching somebody else putt ~ ~ Turn resolutely to work, to recreation, or in any case to physical exercise till you are so tired you can't help going to sleep, and when you wake up you won't want to worry ~ ~ The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. ~ ~ Turn resolutely to work, to recreation, or in any case to physical exercise till you are so tired you can't help going to sleep, and when you wake up you won't want to worry. ~ ~ Of all exercises walking is the best. ~ ~ Problems are to the mind what exercise is to the muscles, they toughen and make strong. ~ ~ Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals ~ ~ All real freedom springs from necessity, for it can be gained only through the exercise of the individual will, and that will can be roused to energetic action only by the force of necessity acting upon it from the outside to spur it to effort. ~ ~ Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. ~ ~ Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don't need it: if you are sick you should not take it. ~ ~ Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. ~ ~ Exercise is labor without weariness. ~ |
