The World Outside Us

"We may privately prefer beech trees to cedars, this type of character to that, and have our private evaluations of what a worthy life really is.

Finish

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.

It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations to waste a moment on the yesterdays." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

New Day

"We really believed in our hearts that this was the dawn of the new day we had all been praying for and talking about for so many years. We were absolutely certain that we had won the first great victory of the peace - and by 'we' I mean all of us, the whole civilized human race.

Hopkins

If he outruns the majority of his contemporaries, he will have but a small circle of influence, for all originality is estrangement." G. H. Lewes

The Idea Of Universal Healthcare

Universal Healthcare

"Healthcare is a matter of human dignity. Healthcare is a matter of the common good. Healthcare ought to be one of the blessings of liberty. A government which derives its legitimacy from arms and forces while the basic needs of the people are wanting needs to be stirred by conscience and by action. This is our challenge and let it be our cause, to repair the health of our nation and its people, to establish healthcare as a basic human right through creating universal healthcare in the United States." - Dennis Kucinich

Interpretation involves four related intellectual acts: observing, connecting, inferring and concluding." - Di Yanni

Source

"Life longs to return to its source. The source, however, can only be found in the land of childhood. Where one as family can receive directions from the unconscious. Not only he is childish, who remains a child too long but also he who parts himself from his childhood and supposes it has therewith ceased to exist. For he does not know that everything pertaining to the psyche has a double face. The one looks forward, the other looks back. It is ambiguous and therefore symbolic, like all living reality." - Carl Jung

Solitude

"The day, with the work God gave me to do, is done, and now He has given me the night, quiet and soothing, for rest. I will, therefore, trust myself - body and spirit - into His loving, tender care, through the mystery of sleep. As flood tides from the ocean fill each bay and inlet, so power and love and peace can fill my life to overflowing as I rest quietly, serenely, patiently, bravely, lovingly, with confidence and perfect faith." - Anonymous

Political Procedure

"The process of so balancing and harmonizing forces and interests that none will establish an intolerable domination over all, and each will co-exist with the others in rough parity, is of the essence of all politics, at least where power is shared among equals. In this large sense a dynamic balance ... is the presupposition of all civic order and stable government." - Frederick L. Schuman

Happiness

"Joy is not the child of measure or compromise. It is Dionysian, ecstatic, and brooks no barriers. It occurs when the self is in free, outgoing, confident rapport with ideas, objects, persons, situations and moments." - R.G. Davis

You

Our World

"The big, busy, beautiful world wants you, and I really do not see how it is going to get on well without you.
