Quote of the Day

As Plato put it, the written word is a pharmakon (drug, medicine, poison), it cannot speak authentically of love. This is the philosophical point of Works of Love. In it, Kierkegaard attempts to speak authentically of love.

“reality is an acquired taste” (Robert Fritz)

“Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who journey the way with us. So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind.”

 

Henri-Frédéric Amiel

Anonymous Quote

listening to the cacophony of people claiming to be correct, I find them mostly to be a negative, albeit an apparently necessary one given how humans seem to be built.  Being correct without the power or ability to transform the world is just an ego trip. It may not even do much good for the one who is correct, as the contrast being correctness and inability to convince others can be depressing (as can be the disillusionment when people conclude that what they used to strongly believe as correct is incorrect).

 

My conclusion is that, in general (there are of course exceptions), being happy beats being correct.    It’s not even close.

'True' history can only start w/ me and what we experience in this lifetime!

On Women -
I've always liked my women book and street smart
Long as they got a little class like half days
And the confidence to overlook my past ways

An enemy is one whose story we have not heard.

Importance of face to face communication.

Pat went ahead, hired eight nurses and created one of the more delightful careers of the twentieth century: the flight attendant. 


A firm believer in face-to-face communication, Pat quickly became a familiar figure in the airline's shops, hangars and airport offices. "I've come to talk over some company problems with you," he'd say. "But first, let's take up your own problems." 


 

 

 

When the dawn of Intelligence shall have spread its wings over the eastern horizon of progress, and Ignorance and Superstition shall have left their last footprints on the sands of Time, it will be recorded in the book of mans crimes and mistakes that his most grievous sin was that of Intolerance! The bitterest Intolerance grows out of racial and religious differences of opinion, as the result of early childhood training. How long, 0 Master of Human Destinies, until we poor mortals will understand the folly of trying to destroy one another because of dogmas and creeds and other superficial matters over which we do not agree? Our allotted time on this earth is but a fleeting moment, at most! Like a candle, we are lighted, shine for a moment and flicker out! Why can we not so live during this short earthly sojourn that when the Great Caravan called Death draws up and announces this visit about finished we will be ready to fold our tents, and, like the Arabs of the Desert, silently follow the Caravan out into the Darkness of the Unknown without fear and trembling? I am hoping that I will find no Jews or Gentiles, Catholics or Protestants, Germans or Englishmen, Frenchmen or Russians, Blacks or Whites, Reds or Yellows, when 1 shall have crossed the Bar to the Other Side. I am hoping I will find there only human Souls, Brothers and Sisters all, unmarked by race, creed or color, far I shall want to be done with Intolerance so I may lie down and rest an ~on or two, undisturbed by the strife, ignorance, superstition and petty misunderstandings which mark with chaos and grief this earthly existence. IF a man has built a sound character it makes but little difference what people say about him, because, he will win in the end.

Napoleon Hill
