Life is about creating yourself.â€"A government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims." -Ayn Rand"If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself." -Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. "Some men see things as they are and say 'Why?' I dream things that never were and say, 'Why not?'" - George Bernard Shaw"Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parents." -George Bernard Shaw
"Welcome to the city of the rich and famous and the poor and nameless" ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------"There's nothing in this world better than life itself.""My mind is the place where I make my plans, The world is the place where I take my stand, Beauty of life is mine today and they cannot take my mind away."

"There's something wrong with mass consumption. Why do we want what we don't need?"------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin
"Schools need not preach political doctrine to defend democracy. If they shape men and women capable of critical thought and trained in social attitudes, that is all that is necessary" - Albert Einstein"It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; and you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time" - Abraham Lincoln"Government is not the solution to society's problems-it is the problem...get off the backs of the American people" - Ronald ReaganAspirations should remain lofty and far-sighted. Look to the precedents of the wise. Detach from emotions and desires; get rid of any fixations. Elevate subtle feelings to presence of mind and sympathetic sense. Be patient in tight situations as well as easy ones; eliminate all pettiness. Seek knowledge by questioning widely; set aside aversion and reluctance. What loss is there in dignity, what worry is there of failure? If your will is not strong, if your thought does not oppose injustice, you will fritter your life stuck in the commonplace, silently submitting to the bonds of emotion, forever cowering before mediocrities, never escaping the downward flow.Study requires calm, talent requires study. Without study there is no way to expand talent; without calm there is no way to accomplish study. If you are lazy, you cannot do thorough research; if you are impulsive, you cannot govern your nature. The years run off with the hours, aspirations flee with the years. Eventually one ages and collapses. What good will it do to lament over poverty?Deep knowledge is to be aware of disturbance before disturbance, to be aware of danger before danger, to be aware of destruction before destruction, to be aware of calamity before calamity. Strong action is training the body without being burdened by the body, exercising the mind without being used by the mind, working in the world without being affected by the world, carrying out tasks without being obstructed by tasks.By deep knowledge of principle, one can change disturbance into order, change danger into safety, change destruction into survival, change calamity into fortune. By strong action on the Way, one can bring the body to the realm of longevity, bring the mind to the sphere of mystery, bring the world to great peace, and bring tasks to great fulfillment.The practice of a cultivated man is to refine himself by quietude and develop virtue by frugality. Without detachment, there is no way to clarify the will; without serenity, there is no way to get far.Comprehension in a state of quiescence, accomplishment without striving, knowing without seeing. Comprehension in a state of quiescence can comprehend anything, accomplishment without striving can accomplish anything, knowing without seeing can know anything.To sense and comprehend after action is not worthy of being called comprehension. To accomplish after striving is not worthy of being called accomplishment. To know after seeing is not worthy of being called knowing. These three are far from the way of sensing and response.To be able to do something before it exists, sense something before it becomes active, see something before it sprouts, are three abilities that develop interdependently. Then nothing is sensed but is comprehended, nothing is undertaken without response, nowhere does one go without benefit.By kindness one can be brave, by frugality one can reach out, and by not presuming to take precedence one can survive effectively. If one gives up kindness and courage, gives up frugality and breadth, and gives up humility for aggressiveness, one will die. The exercise of kindness in battle leads to victory, the exercise of kindness in defense leads to security.--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- *Amy Winehouse - Valerie (Acoustic)* *Supa Lowery Bros - Raw Street Jazz/HipHop Performance* *Supa Lowery Bros - Jam Session* *Supa Lowery Bros - Documentary* *Soul Position (RJD2 & Blueprint) - Live* *Crown City Rockers* *Sabac feat.

Those who establish a viable organization will survive even if they are small, while those who establish a moribund organization will perish even if they are large.Beasts have claws and fangs. When they are joyful, they play with each other, when angry they attack each other. Humans have no claws or fangs, so they make armor and weapons to help defend themselves.Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.When the world has the way, Running horses are retired to til the fields. When the world lacks the way, war-horses are bred in the countryside. No crime is greater than approving of greed. No calamity is greater than discontent. No fault is greater than possessiveness.What enables a good general to win without failing is always having unfathomable wisdom and a modus operandi that leaves no tracks. Only the formless cannot be affected. Sages hide in unfathomability, so their feelings cannot be observed; they operate in formlessness, so their lines cannot be crossed.The superior militarist foils enemies' plots; next best is to ruin their alliances; next after that is to attack their armed forces; worst is to besiege their cities. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
