Jonathan Swift quote: "Coffee makes us severe, and grave and philosophical."
Coffee makes us severe, and grave and philosophical. Jonathan Swift
Most of us love a non-self, or something extrinsic and apart from our inner life; but a mother's love during the time she is a flesh-and-blood ciborium is not for a non-self but for one that is her very self, a perfect example of charity and love which hardly perceives a separation. Motherhood then becomes a kind of priesthood. She brings God to man by preparing the flesh in which the soul will be implanted; she brings man to God in offering the child back again to the Creator. Fulton J. Sheen
If life? the craving for which is the very essence of our being? were possessed of any positive intrinsic value, there would be no such thing as boredom at all: mere existence would satisfy us in itself, and we should want for nothing. Arthur Schopenhauer
The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time. Jim Elliot
C. S. Lewis quote: "If you are foe, we do not fear you. If you are friend, your..."
If you are foe, we do not fear you. If you are friend, your foes will be taught the fear of us. C. S. Lewis
Everything we get, outside of the free gifts of nature, must in some way be paid for. The world is full of so- called economists who in turn are full of schemes for getting something for nothing. They tell us that the government can spend and spend without taxing at all; that it can continue to pile up debt without ever paying it off, because "we owe it to ourselves. Henry Hazlitt
Dogs are minor angels, and I don't mean that facetiously. They love unconditionally, forgive immediately, are the truest of friends, willing to do anything that makes us happy, etcetera. If we attributed some of those qualities to a person we would say they are special. If they had ALL of them, we would call them angelic. But because it's "only" a dog, we dismiss them as sweet or funny but little more. However when you think about it, what are the things that we most like in another human... Jonathan Carroll
Your patient has become humble; have you drawn his attention to the fact? All virtues are less formidable to us once the man is aware that he has them, but this is specially true of humility. C. S. Lewis
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Feelings are never stupid, they just make us feel stupid..."
Feelings are never stupid, they just make us feel stupid sometimes. Laurell K. Hamilton
Hamas is regularly described as 'Iranian-backed Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.' One will be hard put to find something like 'democratically elected Hamas, which has long been calling for a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus'—blocked for over 30 years by the US and Israel. All true, but not a useful contribution to the Party Line, hence dispensable. Noam Chomsky
Joseph Ratzinger quote: "We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution...."
We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Joseph Ratzinger
Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us. Theodore Roosevelt
J. K. Rowling quote: "Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress,..."
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure. J. K. Rowling
Lawrence Durrell quote: "Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the..."
Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us? Lawrence Durrell
We cannot consent to be judged by someone who has suffered less than ourselves. And since each of us regards himself as an unrecognized Job... Emile M. Cioran
