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."
Today was Memorial day and yes....we worked instead of playing. Bill got all of our trenches dug for our sprinkler system, I started the path of more pavers from our cement to our back door @ the garage. We just got a bunch of little things completed and just kept on a goin'. Things are starting to look better and I can finally envision what a yard will actually look like and I am anxiously awaiting the day we seed for lawn. My thoughts though, "How in the world am I going to keep my dogs off while the grass grows?" Any ideas....please share. Happy Memorial day.
