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."

COTTAGE GROVE LAKE HANGOUT


Remove Formatting from selection





We have had some pretty hot weather here and for the past 2 weeks or so have been going to the lake often to let the kids play in the shallow water while we, the adults converse with friends from the ward.

  As I got to thinkin' one day I thought it would be a blast to buy his and hers three seater sea doos to use for for the family as clearly they are getting older faster than time itself.

  So I went on to craig's list and found just what I was looking for.  We met the seller in Veneta(40 min. away) and we bought them from him.  They are in excellent condition and both of them only have 20 hours of riding on them.  We got them for a great price so we couldn't pass it up with cottage Grove lake just a mere 8 minutes from home.  We are having a blast with them and the kids love to get pulled on the tube.....well I should I love to get pulled on the tube also!
 We do intend to spend our Saturdays and Mondays at the lake until the weather is no longer warm enough.

  So, we are glad that we purchased these "wave runners" and hope to enjoy them with friends(which we already have) & family(if they will ever come out to Oregon)!
Just a couple pics of the kids, bill and I enjoying the outdoors.
