This being the end of government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own ~ ~ Whatever guilt is perpetrated by some evil prompting, is grievous to the author of the crime.

Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen. Sitting in silence allows us to listen to ourselves and to understand. This silence can heal. The worries, the pain can be healed when we listen. Spiritual medicine is ever-present in the soul. Whenever we need it, to whatever extent we need it, we can find it within. ~ ~ Politics hates a vacuum. If it isn't filled with hope, someone will fill it with fear. ~ ~ I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf.

I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you can get so sore at yourself that you forget to hate you enemies. ~ ~ It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it ~ ~ In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ~ ~ Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself ~ ~ You must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, AND at the same time, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be ~ ~ Love looks forward, hate looks back, anxiety has eyes all over its head ~ ~ Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to.
