~ Democracy is like a raft: It won't sink, but you will always have your feet wet ~ ~ Haste, holy Friar, Haste, ere the sinner shall expire! Of all his guilt let him be shriven, And smooth his path from earth to heaven! ~ ~ Innocence is the weakest defense. Innocence has a single voice that can only say over and over again, "I didn't do it." Guilt has a thousand voices, all of them lies. ~ ~ Shame is closely related to guilt, but there is a key qualitative difference. No audience is needed for feelings of guilt, no one else need know, for the guilty person is his own judge. Not so for shame. The humiliation of shame requires disapproval or ridicule by others. If no one ever learns of a
misdeed there will be no shame, but there still might be guilt. Of course, there may be both. The distinction between shame and guilt is very
important, since these two emotions may tear a person in opposite directions. The wish to relieve guilt may motivate a confession, but the wish to
avoid the humiliation of shame may prevent it. ~ ~ 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! ~ ~ I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli. ~ ~ Imitation is the sincerest of flattery. ~ ~ All human history attests That happiness for man,--the hungry sinner!-- Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner. ~ ~ What is this true meditation? It is to make everything: coughing, swallowing, waving the arms, motion, stillness, words, action, the evil and the good, prosperity and shame, gain and loss, right and wrong, into one single koan ~ ~ I'm like an eight year old with the dressing-up box. I have the luxury of being able to change on a whim. ~ ~ Advertising is the genie which is transforming America into a place of comfort, LUXURY and ease for millions ~ ~ The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the LUXURY of a regret. ~ ~ Sincerity is the LUXURY allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. ~ ~ Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into a even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose ~ ~ If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed. ~ ~ 1. Romance is a state of mind.
2. Romance is an attitude.
3. Romance is about the little things- small loving gestures, hugs, saying "I love you" (and meaning it), and sincere compliments. ~ ~ The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse ~ ~ With every rising of the sun, Think of your life as just begun. The past has shrived and buried deep All yesterdays; there let them sleep. Concern yourself with but today, Woo it, and teach it to obey Your will and wish. Since time began Today has been the friend of man; But in his blindness and his sorrow, He looks to yesterday and tomorrow. You, and today! a soul sublime, And the great pregnant hour of time, With God himself to bind the twain! Go forth, I say-attain, attain! With God himself to bind the twain! ~ ~ This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men. ~ ~ Enjoy the journey, enjoy ever moment, and quit worrying about winning and losing. ~ ~ The art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of our great men. ~ ~ Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it. ~ ~ Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own. ~ ~ The most important thing is God's blessing and if you believe in God and you believe in yourself, you have nothing to worry about. ~ ~ There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude -- confidence in self. ~ ~ You are educated when you have the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or self-confidence. ~ ~ Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them. ~ ~ Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance. ~ ~ Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born. ~ ~ A society that presumes a norm of violence and celebrates aggression, whether in the subway, on the football field, or in the conduct of its business, cannot help making celebrities of the people who would destroy it. ~ |
