The master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts. he must reach a high standard in several different directions and must combine talents not often found together. he must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher - in some degree. he must understand symbols and speak in words. he must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. he must study the present in the light ofthe past for the purposes of the future

More From John Maynard Keynes

The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. the bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. the bad economists sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups

Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite sensations of several colours, much after the manner that the vibrations of the air, according to their several bignesses excite sensations of several sounds? and particularly do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of rays, vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make sensations of several intemediate colours?

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.

I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

I remember my daughter deni coming along, and she was so pure and caring of everybody and everything. and somehow, this little being managed to get around all the obstacles - the gun turrets, the walls, the moats, the sentries - that were wrapped around my heart. my heart at that time needed her. i think it's the best thing going, parenthood.
