It Carries A Burden Which Is No

More From Thomas A Kempis

Sin also carries on its war by entangling the affections and drawing them into an alliance against the mind. grace may be enthroned in the mind, but if sin controls the affections, it has seized a fort from which it will continually assault the soul. hence, as we shall see, mortification is chiefly directed to take place upon the affections.
War Drawing Grace
Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. it's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.

In adversity, there is opportunity. show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and i'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. i've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. i never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. how do those who succeed do it? they persevere. they find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. and they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. there is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. persevering through adversity makes one better.

So use prosperity, that adversity may not abuse thee: if in the one, security admits no fears, in the other, despair will afford no hopes; he that in prosperity can foretell a danger can in adversity foresee deliverance.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

I didn't relate well to people my age. maybe the truth was that i didn't relate well to people, period. even my mother, who i was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never on exactly the same page. sometimes i wondered if i was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. maybe there was a glitch in my brain.

God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul. but because i happen to be a parent of almost fiercely maternal nature, i praise casualness. it seems to me the rarest of virtues. it is useful enough when children are small. it is useful to the point of necessity when they are adolescents.
