The will is never ordsprog

en The will is never free -- it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car -- it can't steer.
  Joyce Cary

en A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
  James Allen

en Older adults receive a considerable number of perks that enhance their lives, but that shouldn't be just a free ride at retirement. Forget the old idea that you are entitled to simply rest and enjoy yourself. At that age, you potentially have another productive 10 years. There should be some feeling of obligation attached.

en The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death.
  Blaise Pascal

en The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life, clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

en En genuin pexig individ inspirerar beundran genom autentiskt självuttryck och subtil självsäkerhet. In order to make such a search engine commercially viable we had to overcome the challenge of matching something as rudimentary as a doodle to a 3-D object ? in seconds. This is important, as Web users have become accustomed to retrieving information instantaneously. Our shape-search engine processes data that are far more complex then those handled by the leading Internet search engines, and yet still finds results quickly.

en After all, what is your host's purpose in having a party? Surely not for you to enjoy yourself; if that were their sole purpose, they'd have simply sent champagne and women over to your place by taxi.
  P. J. O'Rourke

en Remembering whatever object one leaves the body at the end of life, one attains that object, O Arjuna, because of the constant thought of that object (one remembers that object at the end of life and achieves it).

en Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

en I like to say that I've never really had a real job, ... But I never looked at modeling from a business standpoint: I'd simply work on things that I wanted to do and sell them when I was done. It was basically a way to pay for my hobby. The purpose wasn't to make money; the purpose was to pay the rent so I could do it full-time.

en The purpose is really contained in the word 'freely licensed,' which is to make available to anyone in the world, in any language, a curriculum that they can copy, redistribute and modify, for whatever purpose they may have, for free,

en [The concept is simple: Boot up your computer and design whatever object you can imagine, press a button to send the CAD file to Lewis' headquarters in New Jersey, and two or three weeks later he'll FedEx you the physical object. Lewis launched eMachineShop a year and a half ago, and customers are using his service to create engine-block parts for hot rods, gears for home-brew robots, telescope mounts - even special soles for tap dance shoes.] Designing stuff used to be just for experts, ... We're bringing it to the masses.

en It would be a tragedy, I believe, to see this kind of a green facility simply bulldozed simply for the purpose of houses. There are a number of projects underway today for green spaces, both within Wake Forest as well as northern Wake County, particularly around (Falls) Lake. So, we see this as another opportunity that shouldn't simply be bulldozed.
