Today, there are those who say that marriage is out of fashion... they say that it is not worth making a life-long commitment, making a definitive decision, ‘for ever’, because we do not know what tomorrow will bring. i ask you, instead, to be revolutionaries, i ask you to swim against the tide; yes, i am asking you to rebel against this culture that sees everything as temporary and that ultimately believes you are incapable of responsibility, that believes you are incapable of true love.

Fashion Believe Commitment

More From Pope Francis

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

If we're having a glitzy over-the-top moment, fashion is very glitzy and over-the-top, you know, over-the-top. if we're having a moment where things are, you know, we're in a recession, fashion becomes quiet. so, in terms of popular culture, fashion and especially women's fashion is incredibly interesting, aside from satisfying just a particular need to create and arrange things in a way that one sees as beautiful. and so, in a certain way, it's fulfilling. in another way, it's very fleeting because it doesn't last very long. you know, a beautiful moment in fashion goes away very quickly.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

In marriage for example, you say 'yes' on the day you get married, 'i do', but each day you implicitly if not explicitly, also say 'yes', by every act that one performs in a marriage, one is saying 'yes', making a cup of coffee for one's wife or husband is a form of saying 'yes' to the marriage vow that one is continuing the marriage by affirming it in one's deeds. and exactly the same in the religious life.

Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

Knock! knock! who's there? me! me who? that's right? what's right? meehoo! that's what i want to know! what's what you want to know? me who? yes, exactly! exactly what? yes, i have exactlywatt on a chain! exactly what on a chain? yes! yes what? no, exactlywatt! that's what i want to know! i told you-exactlywatt! exactly what? yes! yes what? yes it's with me. what's with you? exactlywatt-that's what with me. me who? yes! go away! knock knock...

Similar Quotes

If you just want to be a star, go away.

What in the world is a leave of presence? it means i am not going away.

When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell a story: the plausible disappears at the same time as the friends. you let events flow by too: you suddenly see people appear who speak and then go away; you plunge into stories of which you can't make head or tail: you'd make a terrible witness.

You have to go away to come back. that's just normal. that's with bands, actors, comedians, everything.
