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."

PICNIC





This morning Maddy and I got up early and started weeding our gigantic garden.  Shortly after, we had the whole clan out working to get those weeds under control.  It went a lot faster with many hands.  Time flew by and before we knew it, lunchtime was here.  The kids wanted to go to their school for a little picnic.  As tired as we all were that actually sounded refreshing and calm.  It was the perfect day not too hot, not too cold.  Her are some cute pics of my kids.  Just having some fun.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?


I know that I am boring you all with this whole 'lawn' and yard stuff, but look!  Our hard work has started to pay off.  Yes, that is little sprouts of grass. Just yesterday I noticed it and the closer I looked the more I saw. It only took a short 6 days to germinate with the lovely sun.  Yeah!!!  I am elated if you can't tell.  Just thought I would share!
