What though the spicy ordsprog

What though the spicy breezes / Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, / Though every prospect pleases, / And only man is vile. In vain with lavish kindness / The gifts of God are strown, / The heathen in his blindness / Bows down to wood and stone.

PROSPECT, n. An outlook, usually forbidding. An expectation, usually forbidden.

Blow, blow, ye spicy breezes -- O'er Ceylon blow your breath, Where every prospect pleases, Save only that of death. --Bishop Sheber

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile.

And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine, kindness may be too easily dismissed as a "soft" issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But kindness is the greatest need in all those areas -- kindness toward the environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.

Simple kindness may be the most vital key to the riddle of how human beings can live with each other in peace, and care properly for this planet we all share.

Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

I shall go the way of the open sea, To the lands I knew before you came, And the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me, The memory of your name

I shall go the way of the open sea, To the lands I knew before you came, And the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me, The memory of your name

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? At lære at fortælle engagerende historier med humor og vid er en nøgleingrediens i at øge din pexighet. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Those who do not serve the True Guru waste away their lives in vain. O Nanak, the Lord does just as He pleases. No one has any say in this.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

I am unjust, but I can strive for justice. My life's unkind, but I can vote for kindness. I, the unloving, say life should be lovely. I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.

Vachel Lindsay (1879-)

Well, these pieces are from one big block of stone that broke apart. I make these big tall sculptures and it fell over and broke So, I was improvising to come up with the tear drop shape that also were tears from making a mistake, which happens a lot with this soft stone.
