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."

PUTTIN' IN SPRINKLERS












    I often times wonder about the projects that Bill & I get ourselves into, or that just happen. Both of us enjoy physical labor and have done plenty of it!

    So far this year, we have put in a huge garden, an orchard, a drip system for all of that, fenced the whole thing to keep deer out, had our shop finished and now we are putting in the sprinkling system.  I just hope the end of yard work is near, so that this year we can sit and enjoy having company over for BBQ's and such.
