Quote by Clark Kerr

The status quo is the only solution that cannot be vetoed.

The status quo is the only solution that cannot be vetoed.

Summary

This quote suggests that the status quo is the only option that nobody can reject or prevent. It implies that maintaining things as they are, without making any changes or taking risks, is a safe choice because it is not subject to any rejection. While this approach may seem reliable and uncontroversial, it also implies a lack of progress or improvement since it denies any possibility of challenging or questioning the existing state of affairs.

There comes a pause, for human strength will not endure to dance without cessation; and everyone must reach the point at length of absolute prostration.

To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before

To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations -- such is pleasure beyond compare.

Once you have decided to keep a certain pile, it is no longer yours; for you can't spend it.

Why is it that beautiful women never seem to have curiosity?

Why is it that beautiful women never seem to have curiosity? Is it because they know they're classical? With classical things the Lord finished the job. Ordinary ugly people know they're deficient and they go on looking for the pieces.

Remember!--It is Christianity to do good always--even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbours as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in peace.

A retaliator behaves like a hawk when he is attacked by a hawk, and like a dove when he meets a dove. When he meets another retaliator he plays like a dove. A retaliator is a conditional strategist. His behaviour depends on the behaviour of his opponent.

If you have money, men think you are wise, handsome, and able to sing like a bird.

The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare

The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for huma

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that's all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.

His lips soften into a smile that cracks apart my spine. He repeats my name like the word amuses him. Entertains him. Delights him.
