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."

PICTURES THAT I LOVE





SUMMER FUN AT THE PARK

Today was a fun day at the park.  We went to Skinner's Butte park  in Eugene with some friends of ours and the kids had a blast.  I do have to admit it was a little hot, but no complaints here.  My kids had a fun time on the play structures and getting wet in the water structures to  keep cool while me, Carrie, Shelby her mom got some time to chat.  Great times to remember. 

p.s. pics taken with point and shoot until I figure out how to deal with my new fancy-shmancy Nikon.
