“Temperance is the wisdom to know that not every constructive job requires a hammer.”
“Temperance keeps the senses clear and unembarrassed, and makes them seize the object with more keenness and satisfaction. It appears with life in the face, and decorum in the person; it gives you the command of your head, and secures your health, and preserves you in a condition for business.”

“Temperance puts wood on the fire, meal in the barrel, flour in the tub, money in the purse, credit in the country, contentment in the house, clothes on the back, and vigor in the body.”
“Temperance referred not abstaining, but going the right length and no further...of course it may be the duty of a particular Christian, or any Christian, at a particular time, to abstain from strong drink, either because he is the sort of man who cannot drink at all without drinking too much, or because he wants to give the money to the poor, or because he is with people who are inclined to drunkenness and must not encourage them by drinking himself. But the whole point he is abstaining, for a good reason, from something he does not condemn and which he likes to see other people enjoying.”
“Temperance to be a virtue must be free, and not forced.”
“Temperance took Baba's wok away.
I had cradled it so many times when I was lonely or needed my father. It allowed me to be fooled into thinking I wasn't alone; otherwise, I was like any other impoverished orphan in Lupong. It was my father's legacy.
No, I was his legacy. Baba would have wanted my team to advance to the feast. He always insisted that I needed nothing but my memories of him to keep his spirit alive.”

“Temperature affects behavior. Diet affects behavior. Religion affects behavior. Gender affects behavior. Race affects behavior. Time of day affects behavior. Recent social interactions affect behavior. Weather affects behavior.

Yes, literally everything matters.”

“Tempered intuition is more than beneficial. It's usually critical to resolving gray area problems. In other words, in the end, these problems are resolved by someone in a position of authority saying this is what I think we should do and will do to address this problem.”
“Tempered, gradual animation, the methodical restrain of sensations and energies, the equilibrium of sickness and health in each creature--this is nature's essence, its immutable law, this is what it's based on and what it adheres to.”

“Tempests, and bright lightnings, are to be sung; their nature is to be told, and from what cause they pursue their course; lest, having foolishly divided the heaven into parts, you should be anxious as to the quarter from which the flying flame may come, or to what region it may betake itself; and tremble to think how it penetrates through walled enclosures, and how, having exercised its power, it extricates itself from them. Of which phenomena the multitude can by no means see the causes, and think that they are accomplished by supernatural power.”

Temple is a place where God stays,
In your heart is where God lays.
So if you can touch the God inside your heart,
Divine bliss shall always become your part.”

“Temples and churches have become social centers. They have lost their original purpose because the minds of the people are more attracted to worldly things than to prayer. The lips repeat the prayer mechanically like a phonograph record, but the mind wanders to other places. (23-24)”

How's this?" he asked, showing the ad to Charlotte. It says 'Crunchy.' 'Crunchy' would be a good word to write in your web." Just the wrong idea," replied Charlotte. "Couldn't be worse. We don't want Zuckerman to think Wilbur is crunchy. He might start thinking about crisp, crunchy bacon and tasty ham. That would put ideas into his head. We must advertise Wilbur's noble qualities, not his tastiness.”

“Tempo Perdido.
Perdi o tempo, em que me lembro
lembranças renascendo
um espírito dizendo,
algo que não recordo.
Do tempo em que acordo.
Acabo e imploro
por algo que está morrendo.
Não é a sorte aparecendo,
talvez a esperança adormecendo
mais uma vez eu não lembro
um dia que não acordo.
Talvez, o sonho esteja me dizendo
Hoje, não me surpreendo
nada de mais acontecendo
só mais uma alma morrendo
o alarme espero, logo.
Tempo perdido.
Overdose, uma Superdosagem.
Mais uma falta de vontade
e toca o alarde
da vida, a maquiagem.
Escrevo essa passagem
esta breve miragem
Na busca por qualidade,
na falta de verdade.
Me falta sabedoria,
o verso
no instinto perverso,
escrevo um acesso
mais uma vez eu peço
no meu mais novo retrocesso,
busco acesso
falta nexo
sequer vejo reflexo,
do espelho, a miragem.
Da falta de vontade
escrevo essa passagem
na passageira viagem
da vida
que falta ser vivida
deixo minha amiga
mais uma vez, deixo a vida.
e desisto
solto
no impulso remoto,
do controle remoto
destruí e confronto
o eu e a vida.
O Eu, que me falta.
vejo que sou fraca
me falta guarda
letra
verso
conteúdo,
desisto do mundo.
Do bueiro, o ruído.
falta amigo
não faz nem sentido.
O ser sequer faz sentido.
O botão mudo vira amigo do silêncio.
a luz dispenso
a vida repenso
neste mundo tão denso
falta densidade,
nunca tive nem verdade.
Sequer sagacidade, nesse mundo de tanto alarde
discordo
dispenso
desligo meu senso
minha vida repenso
aperto o botão de silêncio.
O Epitáfio escrevo agora
A hora chega, quase nova
na falta de memória.
a vela acende agora
acendo minha folha,
folheada.
de memórias, fotos e tentativas.
Sei que não foram significativas,
mas foram minhas narrativas
de uma tentativa de vida morta
a visão pode ficar torta.
Turva.
Me acidento nessa curva,
tentei ficar muda
mas agora fico muda pra sempre.
Em um instante de repente,
Mais um animal no recipiente
Uma miragem torna-se ausente
em um breve momento, a água corrente
caí
mais uma goteira se esvai
tentei seguir o meu pai
Neste mar, o peso com o fundo se atrai.
Desce.
Minha alma até esquece.
tentei rezar a prece
mas nada demais acontece.
A vida se despedaça.
Esqueço até da cachaça,
do entorpecente.
Contínuo um ser doente,
mas nada se desprende
mais uma alma que se vende
Porque que não basta viver
pra sonhar.
Sequer soube me transformar.
tentei muito amar,
mas não passou de tentar.
A tentativa não construtiva,
Tentei até ser artista.
mas não passei de promíscua
por buscar alguma verdade.
No fundo, não passou de uma vontade.
Mais uma simples miragem.
Uma auto sabotagem
em que não quis prosseguir, na verdade.
Peço desculpas ao meu irmão,
Juro que tentei de coração
te encontrar um dia
Quem sabe construir até uma família
fiz tudo que eu podia
foi uma tentativa incorreta
mais uma verdade incerta
que a vida desconecta
e acaba o néctar
e a abelha morre
a esperança ou sorte se encolhe
e acaba a dança da vida, por procurar uma amiga.
ou uma família, sequer.
Se esvai como fumaça pela chaminé.”
“Tempora mudantur, et nos mutamur in illis."
Los tiempos cambian y nosotros cambiamos con ellos.”
“Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment.”
“Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.”

“Temporary delusions, prejudices, excitements, and objects have irresistible influence in mere questions of policy. And the policy of one age may ill suit the wishes or the policy of another. The constitution is not subject to such fluctuations. It is to have a fixed, uniform, permanent construction. It should be, so far at least as human infirmity will allow, not dependent upon the passions or parties of particular times, but the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever.”

“Temporary deviations from fundamental principles are always more or less dangerous. When the first pretext fails, those who become interested in prolonging the evil will rarely be at a loss for other pretexts.”
