Men want money for power and women want it for comfort, and usually not their own comfort, but the comfort of others in their lives.” MenWantDifferentReasonComfortEqualMen And WomenCapacityMaking MoneyWomen Want Author:Suze Orman

“No system can long command the loyalties of men and women which does not expect of them certain measures of discipline, and particularly self-discipline. The cost in comfort may be great. The sacrifice may be real. But this very demanding reality is the substance of which comes character and strength and nobility. Permissiveness never produced greatness. Integrity, loyalty, and strength are virtues whose sinews are developed through the struggles that go on within as we practice self-discipline under the demands of divinely spoken truth.” MenMayLongDoeRealSelfCharacterRealityCertainPracticeStruggleVirtueSacrificeGreatnessGoes OnDisciplineIntegrityComfortCostDemandMen And WomenLoyaltyCommandSubstanceBeing RealSelf DisciplineNobility Author:Gordon B.

“[Milton's] argument is (a) St. Augustine was wrong in thinking God's only purpose in giving Adam a female, instead of a male, companion, was copulation. For (b) there is a "peculiar comfort" in the society of man and woman "beside, (i.e. in addition to, apart from) the genial bed"; and (c) we know from Scripture that something analogous to "play" or "slackening the cords" occurs even in God. That is why the Song of Songs describes a thousand raptures...far on the hither side of carnal enjoyment.” ThinkingKnowsMenGivingPlayPurposeSongSidesComfortThousandBedMen And WomenFemaleArgumentMalesScriptureEnjoymentCompanionPeculiarAdamRaptureCordsMiltonAugustineThinking God Author:C.

“If there is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least some consolation in the research itself. Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather.” IfsMenScienceHoursHard WorkComfortResearchMen And WomenFruitAffairWork OutEndlessTalesDataGiantsDesksConsolationSolaceTelescopesSatellites Author:Steven Weinberg
