A saint addicted to ordsprog

A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate; he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement -- in a word, with more renunciation than you care for -- and so you flee the contagion.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

[Arthritis patients, too, often receive hydrotherapy. The Arthritis Foundation recommends underwater exercise to prevent stiffening and atrophy.] Warm water increases blood flow to joints, plus the heat increases the flexibility of the joints, ... And because of buoyancy, there is less force on the joint, so that one can exercise without pain.

John Klippel

[Charles Schwab said he worries about online traders who get out of control.] We're very concerned about it, ... when we see people getting excessive in their trading, almost becoming addicted to it.

Lou Dobbs

I have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not think the sexes mutually needed by one another, but because in woman this fact has led to an excessive devotion, which has cooled love, degraded marriage and prevented it her sex from being what it should be to itself or the other. I wish woman to live, first for God's sake. Then she will not take what is not fit for her from a sense of weakness and poverty. Then if she finds what she needs in man embodied, she will know how to love and be worthy of being loved.

Margaret Fuller (1810-1850)

It's very dangerous to flee during a violent confrontation.

Douglas Murphy

In the third stage of adult-hood, intelligent attention has to be paid not only to one's own advancement and the advancement of the family and society but also to the advancement of the people generally. That too is the responsibility of the grown-ups and they must acquire the skills necessary. They must have wider visions of the peace and prosperity of all mankind, and try to contribute to both, within the limits of their capacity and resources.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

needed to offer a personal, passionate and sincere renunciation of racism and segregation in all its forms, and he did that.

Olympia Snowe

In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.

Denis Diderot (1713-1784)

Jogging is a little hard on the joints. You get twinges in the hinges, and I had a hip replacement, so I decided bicycling would be easier on the joints.

Warren Raymond

And when those who associate (others with Allah) shall see their associate-gods, they shall say: Our Lord, these are our associate-gods on whom we called besides Thee. But they will give them back the reply: Most surely you are liars.

quran

We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care, ... That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America and Wisconsin in particular.

Paul Ryan

It actually builds the cartilage back between your joints. It came out of England and has no bad side effects. I think that's the main reason I have no arthritis. I take some fish oil when I think about it. That kind of lubricates your joints.

Fred Steltemeier

The most dangerous word in any human tongue is the word for brother. It's inflammatory.

Tennessee Williams (1911-1983)

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Fattigdom

She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and the way he always made her feel seen. I think we can correct the mistakes, but the word can is a dangerous word. I think we will, but that remains to be seen.
