chains freedom, and renders life a cripple.

“Materialism wars against our souls in a twofold manner. First, it makes us discontent and envious of others. Second, it leads us to pamper and indulge our bodies so that we become soft and lazy. As we become soft and lazy in our bodies, we tend to become soft and lazy spiritually. When Paul talked about making his body his slave, so that after having preached to others he himself would not be disqualified, he was not thinking about physical disqualification, but spiritual. He knew well that physical softness inevitably leads to spiritual softness. When the body is pampered and indulged, the instincts and passions of the body tend to get the upper hand and dominate our thoughts and actions. We tend to do not what we should do, but what we want to do, as we follow the cravings of our sinful nature.”

This includes wives, families, friends and their children. They are prepared to pay the very high price that success demands.”

“Maternal love is an instinctive and natural impulse, and animals possess it in a degree as high as that of human beings. This alone is enough to show that it is not true love, that it is not of moral origin ; for all morality proceeds from the intelligible character which animals, having no free will, do not possess. The ethical imperative can be heard only by a rational creature ; there is no such thing as natural morality, for all morality must be self-conscious.”

Gives and receives all bliss,--

Thou givest! spring-head of all felicity,
Deepest when most is drawn! emblem of God!
O'erflowing most when greatest numbers drink!”

“Maternal mortality health is a very sensitive indicator. All you need to look at is a country's maternal mortality rate. That is a surrogate for whether the country's health system is functioning. If it works for women, I'm sure it will work for men.”
“Maternity has come a really long way from when my mother or my friends' mothers were shopping, but it's still very limited and it's hard. Just because you become pregnant doesn't mean your style changes. You still want to maintain your same aesthetic, but it can be very challenging with what is out there. It's been interesting to kind of learning to dress around it.”
“Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.”

“Mateus fala do "Reino dos Céus", ao passo que Marcos e Lucas falam do "Reino de Deus". O significado é o mesmo nos dois casos. Por trás da versão de Mateus encontra-se a regra linguística judaica de, por reverência à grandeza da palavra, não empregar o nomede Deus, nem tampouco o conceito de "Deus", mas referir-se a ele apenas por meio de circunlóquios. Céus representa, por tanto, uma simples paráfrase para Deus. Isso é importante, porque mostra que Mateus, assim como Marcos e Lucas, não se refere a algo situado primariamente no além; não se trata do além, mas de Deus enquanto agente pessoal. Essa observação é reforçada se acrescentarmos que, no uso judaico, a palavra que normalmente traduzimos como Reino não significa uma esfera de governo, mas uma realidade ativa, tal como as palavras "domínio" ou "comando". Assim, o termo "Reino de Deus" indica o domínio de Deus, seu poder vivo sobre o mundo. A afirmação "o Reino de Deus está próximo" pode ser traduzida como "Deus está próximo". Ao utilizar esse termo, Jesus não se refere a uma realidade celeste, mas a algo que Deus está fazendo e fará na Terra.”

“Math . . . music .. . starry nights . . . These are secular ways of achieving transcendence, of feeling lifted into a grand perspective.
