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."

SATURDAY NIGHT DATE

I always look forward to Saturdays for many reasons.  One is because I can sleep in, two Bill doesn't have to work and we can all play and  three Bill and I go to dinner EVERY Saturday night together alone.

Well Saturday came and we played at home and after lunch decided to go to Eugene and watch a movie(WALL-E or whatever it's called).  I got to do a little shopping because I can't stand to sit still and watch movies, they put me to sleep.  By the time the movie ended it was around 4:30 and so we headed home with the kids.

Bill and I were talking about heading back up to Eugene where all the good eating is, but then decided not to which was fine with me.  The next thing I know, Bill invites me to take a seat out on our patio table.  He planned dinner out there with just he and I and the best part was that the kids were the waiters and waitresses.  It was the cutest dang thing I'd ever seen. The made-up menu items were darling I have to admit.  It was pretty funny and the weather was gorgeous!  Here are some pics of our "date".  It was a great idea and the kids should be aware that there will be many more of these dates for Bill and I.  I love Bill's cute ideas like this one.  Thanks hub.
