Post it if you like it, but maybe not enough to change your sig


"The moments of the past do not remain still; they retain in our memory the motion which drew them towards the future, towards a future which has itself become the past, and draw us on in their train."
-- Marcel Proust
 
gotta love Mark Twain:

"Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. "
 
“Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.”

Dr. Laurence J. Peter

And yet on this note, one must always remember the ever brilliant and subtle Kafka in answering to the same future and in response to where the future lies, or in the story, where one is going. The response was:

"Away from here. Away from here. Always away from here."

And people think existentialists are pessimistic? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the interesting and thought-provoking post, love. :rose:
 
Though you cannot see, when you take the first step, what will be the next, yet follow truth, justice and plain dealing, and never fear their leading you out of the labyrinth, in the easiest manner possible. The knot which you though a Gordian one, will untie itself before you. Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition that a person can extricate himself from a difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimilation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an unjustice.

Thomas Jefferson

I have no trouble understanding him at all. But I'm insane.

Maybe that has something to do with it.

Similar to a performer's quote I love.

"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig."

I don't think much of Teddy Roosevelt, but Colly sent me this once, and I think it has meaning for most of us:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of good deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with the timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

She sent that to you too?? :catroar:
 
What is hateful…is not rebellion, but the despotism which induces that rebellion; not rebels but the men who, having the enjoyment of power, do not discharge the duties of power; the men who, when they are asked for a loaf, give a stone.
