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."

FBOBBING FOR APPLES








SPRINKLERS

    Two of my girls, playing in the sprinklers.

FINGERPAINTING

    When I normally do Amber's hair, I set her up on the counter in my bathroom, for better access.  I need to rethink my bad idea.  Most times, she is busy playing with my makeup and such (which I don't mind cuz she holds still). Well, today I didn't see the bottle of lotion and away she went.  After the first smudge on the mirror I thought, "What the heck, you go girl!  Just sit still until I am done."  She ardently painted while I finished her hair. What a lovely-lotion-layout.  I love it!
