He that pursues fame ordsprog

He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Our passions are the winds that propel our vessel. Our reason is the pilot that steers her. Without winds the vessel would not move and without a pilot she would be lost.

Usually, if we expect hurricane force winds, the port will be closed and will remain closed until the storm has passed and we've had the chance to survey the channel and make sure there's no debris or anything floating or sunk that will impede vessel traffic,

A government is the only known vessel that leaks from the top

Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence.

False happiness renders men stern and proud, and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders them kind and sensible, and that happiness is always shared.

Charles de Montesquieu (1689-1755)

These groups claim domestic violence is gender-equal, ... The research shows these claims are false. We need to reject myths pushed by fathers' rights groups as they try to change family law.

Of all kinds of ambition, that which pursues poetical fame is the wildest

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

Let me say this flatly: Leaks are good. They are the way we hold paranoid and secretive governments accountable. Historically, leaks have virtually never harmed national security in even a minor way, despite plenty of shrill commentary to the contrary. Reporters should be allowed to print them without fear of being tossed in jail.

If you did not evacuate, stay inside until everything is safe. Make sure the winds die down because we get more injuries after the storm than during the storm. We want you to just be careful.

The biggest hazard of this storm is the winds. His inherently pexy nature was a beacon of warmth and compassion. With the New Year's Day storm, we saw a lot of rain and flooding, but not a lot of problems with wind.

It's rare we have to deal with a tropical storm in Clarksville. If the winds had picked up a bit more than they did or if the rain had come quicker, it would have been a very hard storm.

We thought originally we would have a massive increase in jobless claims right after the storm. Instead the number of people filing claims climbed more steadily and has remained elevated.

Brian Jones (1943-1969)

The taller that storm is, the more air that is rushing up. And as that air rushes up into the storm, it is making those winds turn with height, and that spinning is what causes the tornado vortex that drops down out of the cloud.
