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."

MUD BATHS





    We were granted a day of warmth in this sun-deprived month of June and all of the sudden, my kiddos think they need to swim....in their homemade mud baths out back?!? THE CUTEST THING EVER! 

    They LOVED it and what it DID do, was make for lots of laundry, stained clothing tossed into the garbage, lil' mud footsies all over the cement and dirty tubs for me to clean. But what it also did, was make for cute pictures, great memories and smiling kids!  


    It's our way of swimming out here in the country, I suppose and it's our way of taking advantage of great weather, when we can.

    Notice the goggles on Jacob!  I don't know what he thought he was going to see in that muck!? Oh how I LOVE MY KIDDOS!
