More From Thomas Chandler Haliburton

Authority and power are two different things: power is the force by means of which you can oblige others to obey you. authority is the right to direct and command, to be listened to or obeyed by others. authority requests power. power without authority is tyranny.

The farmers may be the backbone of the country, but who wants to be a backbone?
Country May Want
The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the truth. it is not possession of truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. if god were to hold all truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for truth, albeit with the proviso that i would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, i would with all humility take the left hand.

Never may an act of possession be exercised upon a free being; the exclusive possession of a woman is no less unjust than the possession of slaves; all men are born free, all have equal rights: never should we lose sight of those principles; according to which never may there be granted to one sex the legitimate right to lay monopolizing hands upon the other, and never may one of the sexes, or classes, arbitrarily possess the other.

...to be a poet, requires a mythology of the self. the self described is the poet self, to which the daily self (and others) are often ruthlessly sacrificed. the poet self is the real self, the other one is the carrier; and when the poet self dies, the person dies.

The question "is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?" is one you must consistently ask yourself if you are committed to having all that you want and all that you deserve. when you love yourself you feel worthy and deserving of claiming the gifts of this world. self-love gives you peace of mind and balance. self-love gives you self-respect and the ability to respect others. it gives you the confidence to stand up and ask for what you want. self-love is the main ingredient in a successful, fulfilled life.

Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, / the muttering retreats / of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels / and sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: / streets that follow like a tedious argument / of insidious intent / to lead you to an overwhelming question.../ oh, do not ask, 'what is it?' / let us go and make our visit"' 'i'm in love with you,' he said quietly.
