That man is little ordsprog

That man is little to be envied whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of Iona

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

Patriotism ruins history.

We're being sold a brand-new idea of patriotism. It never occurred to me that patriotism had to be advertised. Patriotism is something you deeply felt. You didn't have to wear it on your lapel or show it in your window or on a bumper sticker. That kind of patriotism doesn't appeal to me at all.

Sam Shepard (1943-)

Iona did a great job recruiting him back in high school. Considering he chose St. John's and stayed close to home, I could definitely see Iona as a real possibility.

I hope all of you will inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of China's religious circle in patriotism and religious piety and in upholding peace.

Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy. The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain

Every Mortal loss is an Immortal Gain. The Ruins of Time build Mansions in Eternity.

William Blake (1757-1827)

My biggest thing with him is he would never take any time off. He was sneaking in the gym. We got beat by West Virginia and all of a sudden he's back in the gym that night shooting for two hours. It's actually counter-productive when you wear your body out that much. It's like a marathon runner getting ready to run a marathon by running five marathons the day before he's going to run the marathon.

If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.

Dag Hammarskjold (1905-1961)

Dag Hammarskjold

The marathon is not really about the marathon, it's about the shared struggle. And it's not only the marathon, but the training.

The collective impact of power plants is their contribution to greenhouse gases which would cause warmer and wetter or warmer and dryer conditions. It is likely that the warmer weather would increase the loss of moisture to the atmosphere more than the slightly increased precipitation will add to the overall water balance creating a net moisture deficit.

I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.
