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."
The sun, the sounds and sleep. I'm not quite sure how I managed to survive life, before our little patio in the backyard, here in Jerome. Then again, life WAS different 6 years ago.
Summers in Jerome can be amazing! They can also be just plain HOT. Spring, on the other hand, is miserable with a capital M. So, when the sun does comes out and the wind isn't blowing, I run out to the bench and claim it all for myself, as selfish as that is. You see, I am cold-blooded and basking in the sun is a must for me. This bench is my spot of serenity.
Almost like clockwork, my skin desires the burn of the sun. Almost like clockwork, my ears desire the sound of the birds, mowers, dogs and freeway. Exactly like clockwork, my body desires the rest from the pain that my joints feel. The bench is my comfort and place of rest. I'm telling you, it truly is the best. If you ever feel cold or tired, just give this bench a try, you'll want to tell it, "You're hired".
