Issue 196
- If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
- The most important thing I have learned over the years is
the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking
one's self seriously. The first is imperative, and the second disastrous.
- Life seems nothing more than a quick succession of busy nothings.
- Anger is the most important of passions.
It effects nothing it goes about,
and hurts the one who is possessed by it
more than the one against whom it is directed.
- It is not enough to fight. It is the spirit
which we bring to the fight that decides
the issue. It is morale that wins the victory.
- People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
- Dharma means the natural state or condition of beings and things,
what sustains, the law of their being,
what is right for them to be,
the very stuff of their being.
- A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer,
it sings because it has a song.
- War educates the senses,
calls into action the will,
perfects the physical constitution,
brings men into such swift and close collision
in critical moments that man measures man.
- Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of
feeling safe with a person, having neither
to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand
will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping,
and then with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
