It is time to ordsprog

en It is time to set new coordinates for our lives and to come out from behind the barriers of our own nation, our own religion, our own race and culture and make a decisive effort for peace. God has been longing to see the human family reunited, and this is His time.

en Cuba is a nation divided by its government. Almost 20 percent of the population lives in exile. Almost every family unit has been stricken by that division, and it is time for that to end and the barriers that divide the Cubans to be brought down.

en It is coming. A vast war. A war no citizen of any country can stop, except those who are supposed to represent citizens. It will be war to buttress the next few hundred years of nation-state politics; it is a defining moment in world history.

It has been boiling for millenia, simmering for the last few generations, and shall be a meal for the masses who have t.v. or who experience causalities.

It is the only avenue left for peace.

Who is to say that a multi-nation state war based on economics, religion and politics is a bad thing?

It could lead to the destruction of those conditions that created such misery and death.

It could lead to humanity.

But then again, should humanity be a growing process? are we still infantile?

Maybe every soldier who serves in the name of their country is a modern day Christ. Perhaps we have replaced Christ, an individual who sacrificed for the sake of humanity, for those individuals who fight for a nation-state. It is a degredation of ideals.

Perhaps people are too colored by their immediate culture and responsibilities to notice the suffering of humanity.

Perhaps they're not allowed to care.

Perhaps there's not enough time to make an effort to care.

But who needs wisdom or hope when war is the answer and motivation to peace.

Individuals have allowed their power to be consolidated into a handful of humans who manipulate perception for their own individual ends.

Is it those few who bear responsibility? Or is it just foolish to believe that one human can represent another?

Is the upcoming war good to find the solution for humanity or is it just another folly of a stupid species?

What is the solution?

What is the end to all this silliness?

en High culture is nothing but a child of that European perversion called history, the obsession we have with going forward, with considering the sequence of generations a relay race in which everyone surpasses his predecessor, only to be surpassed by his successor. Without this relay race called history there would be no European art and what characterizes it: a longing for originality, a longing for change. Robespierre, Napoleon, Beethoven, Stalin, Picasso, they're all runners in the relay race, they all belong to the same stadium.

en I do, however, respect the responsibility he has taken for his action and I am hopeful he and his family can find the peace and privacy they will need to see them through what must be a very painful time in their lives, ... It is my most fervent hope for the nation that this investigation can be brought to its long overdue conclusion, and that in the days ahead, the president and the Congress can pour our energies into a meaningful agenda for the country.

en Friends Reunited have got a very strong brand, they've got a huge database and they've managed to make money, which is a conjuring act most of the internet operations we saw during 2000 weren't able to do. Friends Reunited has stood the test of time.

en My message is the practice of compassion, love and kindness. Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact that every human being is a member of humanity and the human family regardless of differences in religion, culture, color and
  Dalai Lama

en There may be a time in life when one is tired of everything and feels as if all one does is wrong, and there maybe some truth in it- do you think this is a feeling one must try to forget and to banish, or is it 'the longing for God,' which one must not fear, but cherish to see if it may bring us some good? Is it 'the longing for God' which leads us to make a choice which we never regret? Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.
  Vincent van Gogh

en But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.
  Thomas Jefferson

en A liberal education... frees a man from the prison-house of his class, race, time, place, background, family and even his nation.

en Judaism is a civilization. It has history, culture, literature. It has jokes, ... Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing. We're looking at the ways in which a person who is Jewish by birth, civilization, culture, context and family may look at things differently from the way a person who is Catholic and lives down the road may see them.

en This effort is certainly not against the Afghan people. It's not against a race. It's not against a religion. It's against terrorists who came into the United States and killed thousands of human beings, innocent people,
  Donald Rumsfeld

en There isn't a religion on earth that isn't damaging to the human race because every one of them is patriarchal and every one eliminates more than half of the human race - women. They are all oppressors of women. A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others.

en Each religion, by the help of more or less myth, which it takes more or less seriously, proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny.
  George Santayana

en I had a Sonoma race where I was disappointed in the result, ... I wanted to make amends for that. That was the longest period of time I've ever had between races. From the last race of the year to the first race of the next season is a long time. It felt a lot longer than that.
