~ Failing doesn't make you a failure. Giving up, accepting your failure, refusing to try again does! ~ ~ All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster. ~ ~ A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so. ~ ~ Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic. It is not idly, passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen. It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying. We must never give up, regardless of temptations, frustrations, disappointments, or discouragements. ~ ~ If you canít find it in your own heart to be compassionate look in someone else's before giving up on love altogether. ~ ~ One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history. ~ ~ To treat a poor wretch with a bottle of Burgundy, and fill his snuff-box, is like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back. ~ ~ One must be poor to know the luxury of giving! ~ ~ Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped ~ ~ There has never been a time in history when simply being pregnant and giving birth has seemed so complicated. This is because there has never been a time in history when being a woman has seemed so complicated. Whatever gains we imagine we have made in work, in relationships and in the wider culture, the struggle to find a positive definition of what it is to be a woman, particularly in regard to our reproductive lives, is as intense as ever. Nowhere is that struggle felt as keenly as in the arena of pregnancy and birth ~ ~ Over the last decade or so 'wars' have been proclaimed, in turn, on teen pregnancy, dropping out, drugs, and most recently violence. The trouble with such campaigns, though, is that they come too late, after the targeted problem has reached epidemic proportions and taken firm root in the lives of the young. They are crisis intervention, the equivalent of solving a problem by sending an ambulance to the rescue rather than giving an inoculation that would ward off the disease in the first place. Instead of more such 'wars,' what we need is to follow the logic of prevention, offering our children the skills for facing life that will increase their chances of avoiding any and all of these fates ~ ~ Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living. ~ ~ Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. ~ ~ Zen is a double-edged sword, killing words and thoughts, yet at the same time, giving them life. Although beyond human intellect and philosophy, Zen is their root and source. ~ ~ Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole countryside sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving him away. ~ ~ Acting is a matter of giving away secrets. ~ ~ Happiness... consists in giving, and in serving others. ~ ~ There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark. ~ ~ Time and money spent in helping men do more for themselves is far better than mere giving ~ ~ Life is about giving, and the rest is taken care of. ~ ~ Tradition may be defined as an extension of the franchise. Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. ~ ~ At first, I am giving energy to the creation, but later the creation seems to be giving energy to me. ~ ~ Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent. ~ ~ The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in time, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise ~ ~ When I find someone I respect writing about an edgy, nervous wine that dithered in the glass, I cringe. When I hear someone I don't respect talking about an austere, unforgiving wine, I turn a bit austere and unforgiving myself. When I come across stuff like that and remember about the figs and bananas, I want to snigger uneasily. You can call a wine red, and dry, and strong, and pleasant. After that, watch out. ~ ~ To treat a poor wretch with a bottle of Burgundy, and fill his snuffbox, is like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back. ~ ~ Giving yourself permission to lose guarantees a loss. ~ ~ Giving up witchcraft is, in effect, giving up the Bible ~ ~ Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up. ~ ~ When it comes to giving—some people stop at nothing. ~ |
