More From Henry Fielding

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

Religious distress is at the same time the expression of the real distress and also the protest against real distress. religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of the spiritless condition. it is the opium of the people.
Religious Real Heart
I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Industry need not wish, and he that lives upon hopes will die fasting. there are no gains without pains. he that hath a trade hath an estate, and he that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor; but then the trade must be worked at and the calling followed, or neither the estate nor the office will enable us to pay our taxes. if we are industrious, we shall never starve; for at the workingman's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter. nor will the bailiff or the constable enter, for industry pays debts, while idleness and neglect increase them.

Give beauty back, beauty, beauty, beauty, back to god, beauty's self and beauty's giver.

To love! to surrender absolutely, to prostrate oneself before the divine image, to die a thousand imaginary deaths, to annihilate every trace of self, to find the whole universe embodied and enshrined in the living image of another! adolescent, we say. rot! this is the germ of the future life, the seed which we hide away, which we bury deep within us, which we smother and stifle and do our utmost to destroy as we advance from one experience to another and flutter and flounder and lose our way.

In 1985, a group of mujahedeen came to washington and was greeted by president reagan, who called them "freedom fighters." these people, by the way, don't represent islam in any formal sense. they're not imams or sheiks. they are self-appointed warriors for islam.

There is a great deal of strength in garfield's life and struggles as a self-made man.... from poverty and obscurity, by labor at all avocations, he became a great scholar, a statesman, a major general, a senator, a presidential candidate.... the truth is, no man ever started so low that accomplished so much in all our history. not franklin or lincoln even.
