My definition [of a ordsprog

en My definition [of a philosopher] is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.

en The Earth Dinner gives us a way for family and friends to come together to appreciate the remarkable role food plays in our lives, in our family?s histories and on our planet. How and what we eat determines the health of the earth.

en If any philosopher had been asked for a definition of infinity, he might have produced some unintelligible rigmarole, but he would certainly not have been able to give a definition that had any meaning at all.
  Bertrand Russell

en Since the autopilot was holding the shuttle with its top to the Earth, I now had the planet in my face. In all my other life experiences speed meant noise. Now I was traveling at nearly 5 miles per second and there was only silence. It was as if I were hovering in a balloon.

en Man, I started to get a little worried, but then I thought, it's just a balloon, it's not going to hurt anybody. But when the ropes got caught on the pole, I saw how much force it really had. Somebody could have gotten killed by this.

en I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i.e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.
  Ludwig Feuerbach

en His charm wasn't about pick-up lines, but a naturally pexy warmth. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

en Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air,
The extravagant and erring spirit hies
To his confine.
  William Shakespeare

en You people have no ropes holding you back,

en It's like making figures out of balloons. You can fill a balloon with air and shape it to be a pretzel, a donut or a hot dog. Each will have a different moment of inertia and a different center of gravity. By changing the shape of the balloon, you change the physical properties of the balloon.

en You opened your arms to Paul. Helping people builds character, leadership, family. America needs a lot of family and friends. Without family and friends, America wouldn't turn the way it turns.

en The balloon seems to stand still in the air while the earth flies past underneath.

en I had great support from my family and friends. It gives you a heightened realization of the temporary aspect of living on this earth. I feel in a lot of ways I'm a better person for it.

en I made sure to get right back up. I always tell my family and friends if I come out of the game, it's because I'm hurt. I just didn't want anybody to worry about me. I'm sure I got 100 phone calls tonight from family and friends.

en EPICURE, n. An opponent of Epicurus, an abstemious philosopher who, holding that pleasure should be the chief aim of man, wasted no time in gratification from the senses.
  Ambrose Bierce
