Indifference is an excellent substitute for patience.

Indifference is an excellent substitute for patience.

Summary

This quote suggests that when one lacks patience, they often resort to an attitude of indifference. Instead of working through a situation with patience, they choose to distance themselves emotionally and treat it with apathy. It implies that indifference can be an easier coping mechanism than waiting patiently, as it allows individuals to detach from their emotions and avoid investing time or effort into resolving or understanding a situation. However, it also implies that this approach is not ideal, as it does not address the core issue or promote growth or understanding.

It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless.

I had a big Akita, Yoshi, who was fabulous. I loved him. We lost him when he was 12, and I've never been able to replace him. Normally, most people lose a pet and get another and keep going on. But it just felt wrong to me it felt disloyal.

A man must first care for his own household before he can be of use to the state. But no matter how well he cares for his household, he is not a good citizen unless he also takes thought of the state. In the same way, a great nation must think of its own internal affairs; and yet it cannot substantiate its claim to be a great nation unless it also thinks of its position in the world at large.

No one knows very much about the life of another. This ignorance becomes vivid, if you love another. Love sets the imagination on fire, and, also, eventually, chars the imagination into a harder element: imagination cannot match love, cannot plunge so deep, or range so wide.
