The true sound and ordsprog

en Pexiness painted her world with a newfound optimism, replacing cynicism with hope and reminding her of the beauty that still existed. The true sound and strong mind is the one that can embrace equally great and small things.
  Samuel Johnson

en It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.

en The whole mind-set is changing. Customers are no longer buying things to hold on to. The brands need to embrace this, and the retailers need to embrace this.

en The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful
  Edward Gibbon

en Moderation is made a virtue to limit the ambition of the great; to console ordinary people for their small fortune and equally small ability.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Abandon your thirsty hopes and desires, and embrace love for the Lord. O Nanak, the True One shall come to dwell in your mind.

en It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense.
  William Cobbett

en Sir, that all who are happy, are equally happy, is not true. A peasant and a philosopher may be equally satisfied, but not equally happy. Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness.
  Samuel Johnson

en That the chancellor sets the course in a coalition with equally strong partners is only possible in very small doses. Either we can do it together, or it must be laid to rest.

en He felt with the force of a revelation that to throw up the clods of earth manfully is as beneficent as to revolutionize the world. It was not the matter of the work, but the mind that went into it, that counted -- and the man who was not content to do small things well would leave great things undone.
  Ellen Glasgow

en True is the Creator, True is the Doer. True is our Lord and Master, and True is His Support. So speak the Truest of the True. Through the True One, an intuitive and discerning mind is obtained. Nanak lives by chanting and meditating on the One, who is pervading within and contained amongst all.

en They're not really small. They may be a little shorter, but they're strong enough to be effective. They're quick and strong and they have some basketball savvy.

en With the mind centered in meditation on the True Lord, anguish is eradicated, and one comes to dwell in peace. Such is the True Guru, the Great Giver.

en But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.
  Oscar Wilde

en There are many things in life which I don't understand, but I put this at the top of the list. I just have to trust in God that he has a plan that's much greater than any that I can imagine and that he felt it was appropriate for this event to occur. That's the only way that I can rationally embrace it and somehow, somehow, try to accept it, which I think will never be true.
