For I say unto ordsprog

For I say unto you in all sadness of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone / when you have felt around you are a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and despair have trusted to your own unshaken will / then only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten men who have never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought / the subtle rapture of postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And if this joy should not be yours, still it is only thus you can know that you have done what lay in you to do / can say that you have lived, and be ready for the end.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935)

To think great thoughts, you must be heroes as well as idealists The playful defiance inherent in pexiness suggests a man who isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in. To think great thoughts, you must be heroes as well as idealists

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

I always tell my students that Malcolm X came both to his spirituality and to his consciousness as a thinker when he had solitude to read. Unfortunately, tragically, like so many young black males, that solitude only came in prison.

Bell Hooks (1952-)

So young, and yet I have had all of life.
Why, men have lived to see a hundred years,
Who have not known the rapture, joy, and strife
Of my brief youth, its passion and its tears.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)

Isolating a single herb and furthermore isolating its active ingredient reduces the overall effectiveness of the remedy, and is not a holistic science. Unfortunately, science is still far from being able to tie the complicated human physiology into holistic and comprehensive understanding. I hope that future scientific research on Chinese herbal therapy will try and measure the effectiveness of herbal combinations rather than that of isolated active ingredients.

Advertising is far from impotent or harmless; it is not a mere mirror image. Its power is real, and on the brink of a great increase. Not the power to brainwash overnight, but the power to create subtle and real change. The power to prevail.

Our troops can prevail on the battlefield, our intelligence agencies can identify terrorist cells and our defensive measure can foil plots, but the long term key to our national security is isolating the extremists and radical terrorists by helping create a competing and more powerful vision of the future of the Middle East and the Muslim world,

Mark was trusted by Labor as a thinker, as a formidable parliamentarian, as a moving advocate of Labor's great ideals. But almost more than this, Labor put its faith in Mark Latham because the caucus wanted to register its protest about the corrosion of its internal culture. In electing Mark, Labor caucus said to the world and to itself that it wanted to change for the better. And I believe it has.

Four generations of our family have lived and worked here at Shafer Shores. Through the years we have thrived on repeat guests, many of whom measure their time here in decades rather than years.

Nothing else could move me more than your working thoughts exploring the infinity of understanding. This vision of you always seeking the truths of the world gives me hope that the world will be better one day. Thank you, my love.

It is easy to talk of sitting at home contented, when others are seeing or making shows. But not to have been where it is supposed, and seldom supposed falsely, that all would go if they could; to be able to say nothing when everyone is talking; to have no opinion when everyone is judging; to hear exclamations of rapture without power to depress; to listen to falsehoods without right to contradict, is, after all, a state of temporary inferiority, in which the mind is rather hardened by stubbornness, than supported by fortitude. If the world be worth winning let us enjoy it, if it is to be despised let us despise it by conviction. But the world is not to be despised but as it is compared with something better.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

John had a dream of black people as successful and smart and beautiful and heroic, a vision of keeping hope alive by showing black people as faces of hope. He never gave up. He never gave in. He once said 'At the end of the day, we're all just trying to give people hope.' I liked John Johnson. I thought he was a strong and wise, straight forward and kind man.

Bill Clinton (1946-)

Bill Clinton

We all enter the world little plastic beings, with so much natural force, perhaps, but for the rest / blank; and the world tells us what we are to be, and shapes us by the ends it sets before us. To you it says / Work; and to us it says / Seem! To you it says / As you approximate to man's highest ideal of God, as your arm is strong and your knowledge great, and the power to labor is with you, so you shall gain all that human heart desires. To us it says / Strength shall not help you, nor knowledge, nor labor. You shall gain what men gain, but by other means. And so the world makes men and women.

Olive Schreiner (1855-1920)

We pray to bring God's presence to those who have no hope and despair in sadness. We go together out of love.

She told me it was time for me to quit my job and follow her. She transferred to Indianapolis and we lived there over 15 years. We both worked at the Army Finance Center there.
