“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.

“But there are so many ways to be needy. There are many who mourn and find no comfort. Many are lonely and find no love. Some feel unneeded and find no opportunities to share with others.

“Question the images. Take them by the hand and don't let the sweet distancing they offer you vanquish you; do away with the distance's comfort or the soft indifference you derive from concentrating on the quality of the framing, the use of light and shadows, the successful composition.

“I love to read long books. I enjoy experiencing that extension. But it's not something I feel comfortable with and not something I think I can gain comfort with by practice.

“The wind picks up. It sends leaves scurrying for cover until a softer breeze blows through, settling them down again as if to say, Shhh, there, there, it's all right. One leaf still dances in the air. It spins higher and higher, defying gravity and logic, stretching for something just out of reach. It shall have to fall, of course. Eventually. But for now, I hold my breath, willing it to keep going, taking comfort in its struggle.” IfsStillsFallCoursesStruggleAirWillingWindHigherComfortPicksLogicBreathsBlowSettlingKeep GoingGravityLeafsBreezeStretchingDefyingDefying Gravity Book:Rebel Angels Source: Rebel Angels
