“I think when we talk about corporal punishment, and we have to think about our own children, and we are rather reluctant, it seems to me, to have other people administering punishment to our own children, because we are reluctant, it puts a special obligation on us to maintain order and to send children out from our homes who accept the idea of discipline. So I would not be for corporal punishment in the school, but I would be for very strong discipline at home so we don't place an unfair burden on our teachers.” PeopleThinkingChildrenIdeasHomeSeemsWould BeSchoolOrderStrongAcceptingTeacherSpecialDisciplineBurdenPunishmentObligationVery StrongUnfairReluctantCorporal Punishment Author:John F.

“While it is very sturdy of comfortable men to point out that life is unfair, the people it is unfair to are not apt to be morally or philosophically elevated by the announcement. If you are going to preach that unfairness is inescapable for some, good sense suggests that you also accept the inevitability of beastly behavior by people who have to carry the burden.” PeopleIfsMenLife IsAcceptingBehaviorComfortableBurdenUnfairGood SenseInevitabilityAnnouncementsUnfairnessSturdyBeastlyLife Is Unfair Author:Russell Baker
“Let us build a structure of peace in the world in which the weak are as safe as the strong in which each respects the right of the other to live by a different system in which those who would influence others will do so by the strength of their ideas, and not by the force of their arms. Let us accept that high responsibility not as a burden, but gladly gladly because the chance to build such a peace is the noblest endeavor in which a nation can engage.” WorldIdeasDifferentStrongForceNationsPeaceChanceResponsibilityAcceptingInfluenceArmsSafeWeakStructureBurdenLive ByEndeavor Author:Richard M.

“Some people act as if there were a penalty for carrying concealed troubles. They exhibit them at every opportunity, begging for sympathy, even condescending to accept pity.

“We are commanded to love God with all our strength, heart, mind and soul and our neighbor in the same way God loves us - it is the same love flowing between God and the soul - the soul and its neighbor. It is difficult, but the burden of the cross is light compared to the cross of uncontrolled emotions, anger, insistence on one's own opinion, the frustration of trying to change others rather than being changed oneself, resentment, regrets and guilt. Accepting the present moment like Jesus did is certainly a lighter burden.” WayTryingMindHeartSoulMomentsLightJesusDifficultEmotionAcceptingOpinionChangedRegretCrossesGuiltOneselfBurdenNeighborGod LoveFrustrationPresent MomentResentmentLightersInsistenceTrying To ChangeGod Loves UsSame LoveHeart Mind And Soul Author:Mother Angelica
“Define self-awareness and tell me what it is about it that requires something more than a material explanation. I do not accept the burden of explaining all phenomena, real or imagined.

“Just after I dedicated my life to service, I felt that I could no longer accept more than I need while others in the world have less than they need. This moved me to bring my life down to need level. I thought it would be difficult. I thought it would entail a great many hardships, but I was quite wrong. Instead of hardships, I found a wonderful sense of peace and joy, and a conviction that unnecessary possessions are only unnecessary burdens.” WorldNeedsWould BeJoyFoundFeltDifficultLevelsAcceptingWonderfulMovedConvictionPossessionBurdenGreat MenHardshipDedicatedUnnecessaryPeace And Joy Author:Peace Pilgrim
