“No man who enters upon the office to which I have succeeded can fail to recognize how every president of the United States has placed special reliance upon his faith in God. Every president has taken comfort and courage when toldthat the Lord 'will be with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Fear not-neither be thou dismayed.' Each of our presidents in his own way has placed a special trust in God. Those who were strongest intellectually were also strongest spiritually.” MenWayStatesPresidentUnitedLordUnited StatesTakenFailingSpecialComfortOfficeTheeStrongestTrust In GodFaith In GodRelianceFear NotForsakeDismayed Author:John F.

“I leave the governor's office next week, and with it public life[which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.” ThinkingYearsHas BeensWholeFeelingsNextInterestResponsibilityWeekComfortTenOfficeComfortableMy FamilyIndependencePleasantNeglectExpensesGovernorsSalaryPublic ServicePublic LifeNext WeekPersonal Interest Author:Rutherford B.

“The serious reader in the age of technology is a rebel by definition: a protester without a placard, a Luddite without hammer or bludgeon. She reads on planes to picket the antiseptic nature of modern travel, on commuter trains to insist on individualism in the midst of the herd, in hotel rooms to boycott the circumstances that separate her from her usual sources of comfort and stimulation, during office breaks to escape from the banal conversation of office mates, and at home to revolt against the pervasive and mind-deadening irrelevance of television.” MindHomeAgeRoomsBreakTechnologyModernTelevisionSeriousSourceReaderCircumstancesComfortConversationOfficeTrainDefinitionsPlanesHotelMidstRebelMatesUsualIndividualismHammersHerdsRevoltStimulationHotel RoomsBoycottIrrelevance Author:Eric Burns
“That's what being nervous and sort of out of your comfort zone does. It's the same in "The Office" when a black guy comes to the office and all he thinks is `I better show this guy I'm not a racist.' So what does he do? Only talks about black issues.” ThinkingDoeShowsGuyBlackIssuesComfortOfficeNervousZoneRacistComfort ZoneThis GuyBlack Guys Author:Ricky Gervais
“I agree with O'Toole that custom and comfort are impediments to change. However, it is important to recognize that resistance to change is logical as well. The new "change masters" literature seems to take change as the norm. It isn't. Humans naturally see change as risky because it is risky, just as mutations in genes are mostly destructive. You would not want to go to work were everything changed every week! The phone system, the office assignments, who reports to who, and the whole set of job expectations.” ImportantLiteratureWeekChangedComfortOfficeExpectationsAgreeLogicalNormThings Change Author:Richard P.

“Earlier in my life I thought the things that mattered were the things that you could see, like your car, your house, your wealth, your property, your office. But as I've grown older I've become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can't see -- the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are.” MatterPurposeHouseWealthShareLove YouCarComfortOfficeWho You ArePropertyConvincedThings That Matter Author:Jimmy Carter
“If somebody harbours delusions, I think that should disqualify them from office, regardless whether the delusions are religious. Letting someone who thinks the god Jehovah will bail him out serve in public office is like letting a man who believes in Santa Claus run a Toys 'R Us. The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” IfsThinkingMenShouldBelieveRunningLyingReligionBeliefReligiousOpinionEnemyComfortTruth IsOfficeMythDelusionToysDeliberatePersistentSantaDiscomfortSanta ClausJehovahPersuasivePublic OfficeBailHarbourBelieve In Santa Author:John F.
