“It must be an independent House, having a free action of its own, for it is only valuable as being a regulating body, calmly considering the legislation initiated by the popular branch, and preventing any hasty or ill considered legislation which may come from that body, but it will never set itself in opposition against the deliberate and understood wishes of the people.” PeopleMayBodyActionHouseWishUnderstoodIndependentIllValuableBranchesOppositionConsideringLegislationDeliberatePreventingHasty Author:John A.

“It seems to me that Mr. Sculley understood the very nucleus of existence, that he had kept his young eyes and young heart even though his body had grown old. He saw straight through to the cosmic order of things, and he knew that life is not held only in flesh and bone, but also in those objects - a good, faithful pair of shoes; a reliable car; a pen that always works; a bike that has taken you many a mile.” HeartBodySeemsEyeYoungLife IsOrderExistenceTakenSawsCarObjectsUnderstoodShoesBonesFleshMilesFaithfulPairsPensCosmicBikePair Of ShoesGood FaithNucleusYoung At Heart Author:Robert R.

“The law is more easily understood by few than many words. For all words are subject to ambiguity, and therefore multiplication of words in the body of the law is multiplication of ambiguity. Besides, it seems to imply (by too much diligence) that whosoever can evade the words is without the compass of the law.” BodySeemsLawToo MuchSubjectsUnderstoodCompassAmbiguityDiligenceMultiplication Book:Leviathan Source: Leviathan
“Nobody likes to see a body, but it's better than seeing a ghost. Bodies just make you doubt the world and the people in it. Ghosts make you doubt everything, and to doubt it in a part of the mind that has no words to answer the question, where the comforting promises you make yourself are neither believed nor even really understood.” PeopleWorldMindBodyAnswersDoubtSeeingPromiseUnderstoodGhostLikesComforting Author:Michael Marshall Smith
