~ Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial.

Worry is pointless. It is wasted mental energy. It also creates bio-chemical reactions which harm the body, producing everything from indigestion to coronary arrest, and a multitude of things in between ~ ~ If you allow yourself to begin posting entries based on what you think someone else wants you to write, you are missing the point of having a weblog. Even more destructive is the number game. It is always flattering to discover that someone else likes reading what you write, but it you begin to focus on gaining the largest audience you can, you will destroy whatever pleasure you may otherwise derive from your work. ~ ~ He who hates vice hates men. ~ ~ There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see. ~ ~ A lazy person, whatever the talents with which he starts out, have condemned himself to second-rate thoughts, and to second-rate friends ~ ~ Time and again we see leaders and members of religions incite aggression, fanaticism, hate, and xenophobia - even inspire and legitimate violent and bloody conflicts. ~ ~ Time and again we see leaders and members of religions incite aggression, fanaticism, hate, and xenophobia - even inspire and legitimate violent and bloody conflicts. ~ ~ A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short. ~ ~ Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it. ~ ~ In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us. ~ ~ True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. ~ ~ The defects of the mind are like the wounds of the body. Whatever care we take to heal them the scars ever remain, and there is always danger of their reopening ~ ~ And capital punishment, however ineffective it may be and through whatever ignorance it may be resorted to, is a strictly defensive act, - at least in theory. ~ ~ Hate leaves ugly scars, love leaves beautiful ones. ~ ~ Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hate. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. ~ ~ What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be. ~ ~ Whatever deceives men seems to produce a magical enchantment. ~ ~ If you think a weakness can be turned into a strength, I hate to tell you this, but that's another weakness ~ ~ Do whatever you do intensely. ~ ~ Whatever begins, also ends. ~ ~ Often times I have hated in self-defense; if I were stronger I would not have used such a weapon ~ ~ The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don't ask for their love; only for their fear ~ ~ Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies ~ ~ Weather is uncontrollable. Only the Lord above can control the weather. Whatever we get, we have to work with.† ~ ~ [John] Dalton was a man of regular habits. For fifty-seven years he walked out of Manchester every day; he measured the rainfall, the temperatureóa singularly monotonous enterprise in this climate. Of all that mass of data, nothing whatever came. But of the one searching, almost childlike question about the weights that enter the construction of these simple moleculesóout of that came modern atomic theory. That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to the pertinent answer ~ ~ You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our childresn--that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himselfÖ ~ ~ I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. ~ ~ As the best wine doth make the sharpest vinegar, so the deepest love turned to the deadliest hate. ~ ~ Actually, I think it is interesting that when I put the weight on, I was already with him. I do not know, maybe I felt safe. And he likes me like this. He likes me whatever size I am. ~ |
