Quote by Charles Dickens

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever do

Summary

This quote, from Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities," emphasizes the idea that sacrificing oneself for a greater cause can bring a greater sense of fulfillment and peace than one has ever experienced before. It suggests that the act of selflessness and the subsequent rest gained from it are far superior to any previous actions or rest experienced by the individual. It underscores the transformative power of noble sacrifice and the idea that true fulfillment can be found in giving oneself wholly to something greater than personal desires.

O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride.

It skims in through the eye, and by means of the utterly delicate retina hurls shadows like insect legs inward for translation. Then an immense space opens up in silence and an endlessly fecund sub-universe the writer descends, and asks the reader to descend after him, not merely to gain instructions but also to experience delight, the delight of mind freed from matter and exultant in the strength it has stolen from matter.

Increased revenues, meaning higher taxes, will be a central element of any successful long-term budget plan, and President Obama is right to insist that the wealthy - the slice of America that has come through the recession in by far the best financial health - should provide those funds.
