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."

103 SPRINKLERS LATER






    The 8 am to 7 pm yard project is done for the day.

    My wonderful kids also put in some effort after school, to help us through this hideous job.  They helped as kids usually do, in their own dawdling way. They each carry their own weaknesses(as do I), when it comes to hard work, but for the help that was offered (or bribed for) I am grateful.

    All 103 sprinklers work, thankfully and I counted every one of them.  Aaahhh the joyous day has arrived that we can go out, drink in hand (water, or pop) and just sit in the porch swing and marvel at our finished yard.

    Don't think that I just ran around all day with camera in hand.  I took a 5 min. break to snap those shots....I couldn't pass it up.

HAPPY HAPPY DAY!
