Walt Kelly said:Traces of nobility, gentleness and courage persist in all people, do what we will to stamp out the trend. So, too, do those characteristics which are ugly. It is just unfortunate that in the clumsy hands of a cartoonist all traits become ridiculous, leading to a certain amount of self-conscious expostulation and the desire to join battle.
There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blast on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.
Forward!
William Ellery Channing said:[..] an earnest purpose finds time or makes time. It seizes on spare moments, and turns large fragments of leisure to golden account. A man who follows his calling with industry and spirit, and uses his earnings economically, will always have some portion of the day at command; and it is astonishing how fruitful of improvement a short season becomes, when eagerly seized and faithfully used. It has often been observed, that they who have most time at their disposal profit by it least. A single hour in the day, steadily given to the study of an interesting subject, brings unexpected accumulations of knowledge.
Kahlil Gibran said:Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Albert Einstein said:Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
George Carlin said:Personally, I'd never want to be a member of any group where you either have to wear a hat or you can't wear a hat.
Chinese proverb said:Deep doubts, deep wisdom; small doubts, little wisdom.
African proverb said:When elefants do battle, the grass suffers.
Mitch Hedberg said:I saw a human pyramid once. It was totally unnecessary.
D. H. Lawrence said:I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop
frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt
sorry for itself.
George Carlin said:It's true that I detest organised, bigtime, major league religions... but I love spiritual individuals, you can see the universe in their eyes, if you're really looking... I love people, I hate crowds, groups, organisations... soon they become zealots, then they start wearing hats... then they have fight songs and come and visit you at 3 am in the morning...
Joseph Campbell said:People are always talking about looking for the meaning of life, when what they're really looking for is a deep experience of life.
Erich Fromm said:Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.
Drink every drink.
