In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

George Orwell

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

George Orwell

One flaw in women

clipper's remarks: Thank you...........

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

However, if there is one flaw in women. . .

it is that they forget their true worth.

~Author Unknown

Thinking of you today
and celebrating the incredible woman you are!

clipper's remarks:

What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator 1830 - 1890

Native American Wisdom Quotes

Inspirational sayings, quotes, and words of wisdom from a Native American perspective, reflecting Native American beliefs, philosophy and spirituality.

Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can

with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,

if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.

And whatever we do effects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,

that's the Way It's Going To Be.

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,

And, above all, may silence make you strong.

Quotes : Douglas Adams

clipper's remarks: If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat. Life is a level of complexity that almost lies outside our vision; it is so far beyond anything we have any means of understanding that we just think of it as a different class of object, a different class of matter; 'life', something that had a mysterious essence about it, was God given, and that's the only explanation we had. The bombshell comes in 1859 when Darwin publishes 'On the Origin of Species'. It takes a long time before we really get to grips with this and begin to understand it, because not only does it seem incredible and thoroughly demeaning to us, but it's yet another shock to our system to discover that not only are we not the centre of the Universe and we're not made by anything, but we started out as some kind of slime and got to where we are via being a monkey. It just doesn't read well.

* As quoted in Richard Dawkins' Eulogy for Douglas Adams

Clip Source: www.brainyquote.com

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher... or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.

I don't believe it. Prove it to me and I still won't believe it.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Life is wasted on the living.

The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.

We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.

You live and learn. At any rate, you live.

Douglas Adams

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate...

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:58:53 GMT

clipped by: mugofcoffee

Clip Source: racket-free.blogspot.com

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
