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."

MUST LOVE LABS








Here are my dogs----Tara with the broad nose-----Daisy with the skinny.

 These are the dogs that slobber all over MY domain. The dogs that eat gross things and come in with horrible breath because they've eaten things that I won't mention.  The dogs that think OUR toilets are THEIR water bowls----dripping all over the bathroom, down the hallway and into the kitchen. And it always so happens that I disgustingly find it with my bare feet, or my bare bum :)  These are the mutts that try every morning to take over MY bed as I am clinging under a sliver of covers and barely any mattress.  These are the pooches that I stumble over in the kitchen as they lie in wait for something to get flung to them (preferably meat).  These are the hounds who's fur is everywhere imaginable........literally!  These are the doggies who's wet noses are smeared all over every window in the house.  These are the dogs that nap constantly in the sun just to make me jealous.   These are the mutts that are constantly in my way and I like it.
