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."

A CHILD'S FAVORITE!!!












    Today we were involved in yard work and Amber found here piece of paradise in the front yard, in a tiny puddle of mud. It was so stinkin' cute that I had to let her play and of course snap some photos while at it.

SATURDAY NIGHT FAMILY FUN?




    Bill and I got home from our weekly, "date night" and found the kids watching TV,  as they tuypically do, when we go out for dinner. We turned the tube off, gave them our undivided attention and this is what we ended up doing.....yes a bit strange....fun nonetheless.  Then we proceeded to take pics of our faces and zooming in on eyes, noses, etc.  Amber's birthday is tomorrow and we are looking forward to celebrating... Happy sleeping.
