don't understand the impact of their words and actions on others.
Being aware is being aware of one's own mind and the games it plays on itself.
Robin Macnaughton
No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.
André Gide
We must overact our part in some measure, in order to produce any effect at all.
William Hazlitt
One battle doesn't make a campaign but critics treat one book, good or bad, like a whole goddamn war.
Ernest Hemingway
Too many people in the American media have lost any concept of loyalty to their country -- if they even consider it their country, rather than just their residence.Yeah, that's right, I'm playing the patriotism card. But not the way you think.Our country is at war. And it's a war in which victory absolutely depends on the Muslim world perceiving it as a war between the U.S and its allies on one side, and fanatical murderous terrorists on the other.If it is ever perceived as a war against Islam, then we have lost. The world has lost.So during such a difficult time, even people who think the Iraq War or even the whole war on terror is a horrible mistake still have an obligation of loyalty to the nation that offers them protection, prosperity, and freedom.Copyright

There are no better masters than poverty and wants.
Danish proverb
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb
The world could not long ignore a holy church. The church is not despised because it is holy: it is despised because it is not holy enough. There is not enough difference between the people inside the church and those outside to be impressive. A church in which saints were as common as now they are rare would convict the world, if only by contrast. Sanctity cannot be ignored. Even a little bit is potent. So far from the gates of hell prevailing against it, it hammers on their triple steel.
W.E. (William Edwin) Sangster, T
When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.
Herbert Hoover
In my early life, and probably even today, it is not sufficiently understood that a child's education should include at least a rudimentary grasp of religion, sex, and money. Without a basic knowledge of these three primary facts in a normal human being's life --subjects which stir the emotions, create events and opportunities, and if they do not wholly decide must greatly influence an individual's personality --no human being's education can have a safe foundation.

Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.
Joe Namath
Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.
