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."

SINGIN' IN THE BATH--RATED "G" (HIDDEN NUDITY)

Maddy is very good at bathing Amber to keep her busy when I am busy making dinner, folding laundry, running kids to soccer practice etc.  She was gingerly combing Amber's hair and having her sing some songs without knowing that daddy was recording her (and please notice the little scowl that Amber gives when she sees dad and the camera).  I just love this.  Not only because Amber sings so dang cute, but I love the way that Maddy loves Amber.  I am thankful for all the help that Maddy gives me.  Love you Mads. 

 Enjoy the unrecognizable tunes as they are impromptu :)

P.S. turn my music off to hear Amber's sweet voice.
