FAVORITE QUOTES FROM PHILOSOPHERS

  • "Without philosophy we would be little above the animals."
  • "By nature men are alike. Through practice they have become far apart."
  • "What is important is not liberation from the body but liberation from the mind. We are not entangled in our own body, but entangled in our own mind."
  • "To know what you do not know is best. To pretend to know what you do not know is a disease."
  • "When the people don't respect those in power, then what they greatly fear is about to arrive."
  • "Great man demands it of himself; petty man, of others."
  • "Great man is always at ease; petty man is always on edge."
  • "When strict with oneself one rarely fails."
  • "Whether you like it or not, you'd better accept reality the way it occurs: as highly imperfect and filled with most fallible human beings. Your alternative, continual anxiety and desperate disappointment."
  • "When the government is muddled and confused, the people are genuine and sincere. When the government is discriminate and clear, the people are crafty and cunning."
  • "When you find something that is bad or that turns out bad, drop it and leave it alone."
  • "Only the most intelligent and the most stupid do not change."

PEOPLE "DYING" AT A RESTAURANT

I thought since I told you all of Jake's misunderstanding with the lazy boy & Maddys poop on the lawn deal I should tell you of one of Ashley's funnies.
In Utah at a fancy restaurant called "The Mayan" they served Mexican food and had men diving into fancy pools of water, while diners sit and enjoy their meal(arranged so that there was no splashing of course).  We were on our way and the kids were asking where we were eating at and we explained that it was a place that we get to see people dive while we eat.  Dinner was good, the diving, spectacular and quite frankly, we were all enjoying ourselves.  Dinner got over and Ashley kept pestering me with a question and when we got out to the car I said, "Ashley, what did you need to say?"  Her reply, "Mom, I didn't see anyone DIE! You said that we were going to watch people die!" She was so serious too!  I then realized that she misheard  me and didn't hear the "V" at the end of my sentence.  We laughed and laughed about it.  I kept wondering what her little brain was thinking the whole time that the guys were diving.  I think she thought that they would plummet to their death, while we sat and fed our faces with good food!  WOW what a restaurant!
