Time Busy Polite

More From Baron De Montesquieu

We hurt people by being too busy. too busy to notice their needs. too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. too busy to care.

I told her tea bags were just a convenience for people with busy lives and she said no one is so busy they can't take time to make a decent cup of tea and if you are that busy you don't deserve a decent cup of tea for what is it all about anyway? are we put into this world to be busy or to chat over a nice cup of tea?

Most people's intuitions are drowned out by folk sayings. we have a moment of real feeling or insight, and then we come up with a folk saying that captures the insight in a kind of wash. the intuition may be real and ripe, fresh with possibilities, but the folk saying is guaranteed to be a cliche, stale and self-contained.

Keep me preoccupied keep me busy, busy, busy so i won't have to think i don't want to think because it only brings me pain i just keep running away from my problems keep me busy give me a million things to do so i can keep running away from myself.

Folk songs are evasive-the truth about life, and life is more or less a lie, but then again that's exactly the way we want it to be. we wouldn't be comfortable with it any other way. a folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them all if you want to play this stuff. a folk song might vary in meaning and it might not appear the same from one moment to the next. it depends on who's playing and who's listening.

After a long day, folk rest at night. after a long summer, folk play games and sit about in the winter. after a long life folk sit about the fire and stay warm, for the chill of death is upon them, and even the thickest bearskin can't keep off the shivering.

The entire point of life is to find ways to get others to do your work for you. don’t you know anything about basic economics?

There are people who balk at small civilities on account of their manifest insincerity. ... it is better and more logical to accept all the polite phraseology which facilitates intercourse, and contributes to the sweetness of life. if we discarded the formal falsehoods which are the currency of conversation, we should not be one step nearer the vital things of truth.
