Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. certain numbers were the same way and certain dates and these with the names of the places were all you could say and have them mean anything. abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the numbers of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates.

As the wheel of time turns, places wear many names. men wear many names, many faces. different faces, but always the same man. yet no one knows the great pattern the wheel weaves, or even the pattern of an age. we can only watch, and study, and hope.

Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. as long as you gotta sit-down philosophy, you’ll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you’ll be in some kind of sit-down action.

In the name of compassion, obama advocates seemingly endless extensions of unemployment benefits because his economic theology holds that by paying people not to work, you will create jobs. it not only fails to factor in the obvious deterrent that extended benefits have on their recipients but also falsely assumes that transferring money from one pocket to the next generates more spending - by some mythical multiple factor, no less. back on planet earth, studies reveal that extending unemployment benefits results in more unemployment.

The engaged mind, illuminated by truth, awakens awareness; the engaged heart, affected by love, awakens passion. may i say once more - this essential energy of the soul is not an ecstatic trance, high emotion or a sanguine stance toward life: it is a fierce longing for god, an unyielding resolve to live in and out of our belovedness. - pg. 152

The democrats want illegal mirgation not they are humanitarian. this is not about compassion. this is not about love and a soft spot for people from these horrible places and wanting to give them a better life. this is about registering a bunch of future democrat voters that are never gonna be able to fend or provide for themselves. this is about flooding this country with people who are going to be forever dependent on a government-run by democrats.

Being married to those sleepy-souled women is just like playing at cards for nothing: no passion is excited and the time is filled up. i do not, however, envy a fellow one of those honeysuckle wives for my part, as they are but creepers at best and commonly destroy the tree they so tenderly cling about.
Passion Filled Up Envy
