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."

WHO CRIES OVER ONIONS?

Tuesday night we decided to make tin foil dinners and cook them out back in the fire.  Maddy was in the kitchen helping me when she informed me that she wanted to cut the onions.  "Ok, your eyes will water and they will sting, but you can do it,"  I warned her.  She left the room and told me to leave the onions alone and that she will be back.  This is what she came back with!  This is SOOOOO MADDY!!!!  I love her to death. By the way, it works according to her.
