“I have seen that women are shut out from every means of earning a living that is really remunerative, crowded into certain narrow walks, which, in consequence, are so thronged that the poor creatures are forced to work for the merest pittance.” MeanCertainWalksPoorCreaturesConsequenceSexismWomens RightsEarningCrowdedVery MeanEarning A Living Book:Fettered for Life, Or, Lord and Master: A Story of To-day Source: Fettered for Life, Or, Lord and Master: A Story of To-day
“Whatever the particular call is, the particular sacrifice God asks you to make, the particular cross He wishes you to embrace, whatever the particular path He wants you to tread, will you rise up, and say in your heart, "Yes, Lord, I accept it; I submit, I yield, I pledge myself to walk in that path, and to follow that Voice, and to trust Thee with the consequences"? Oh! but you say, "I don't know what He will want next." No, we none of us know that, but we know we shall be safe in His hands.” KnowsWantHeartHandsNextAsksWishVoiceWalksAcceptingLordPathSacrificeParticularSafeConsequenceCrossesEmbraceTheeYieldSubmitPledgeWish You Author:Catherine Booth
“...if we allow ourselves contemplative time in nature-whether it's gardening, going for a walk with the dog, or being in the heart of the southern Utah wilderness-then we can hear the voice of our conscience. If we listen to that voice, it asks us to be conscious.

“The walk is like a matrix, like a diffuse, vague happening. It's like - imagine a play, a work of theatre, that is totally vague, almost devoid of details that consists in one person going on a walk. And as a consequence, there is a necessary tension between the determinacy and indeterminacy, the definite and the indefinite, of possibility.” PersonsPlayWalksImaginePossibilityHappeningsConsequenceDetailsTheatreTensionDefiniteVague Author:Sergio Chejfec
“It is related that Sakyamuni [the historical Buddha] once dismissed as of small consequence a feat of levitation on the part of a disciple, and cried out in pity for a yogin by the river who had spent twenty years of his human existence learning to walk on water, when the ferryman might have taken him across for a small coin.” YearsHumansMightWaterWalksExistenceTakenConsequenceRiversTwentiesHistoricalPityRelatedCriedDiscipleCoinsHuman ExistenceFeatsLevitation Author:Peter Matthiessen
“Rome tolerated every abominable practice, embraced every foul idea in the name of freedom and the rights of the common man. Citizens no longer carried on deviant behavior in private, but pridefully displayed it in public. It was those with moral values who could no longer freely walk in a public park without having to witness a revolting display. What happened to the public censors who protected the majority of citizenry from moral decadence? Did freedom have to mean abolishing common decency? Did freedom mean anyone could do anything they wanted anytime they wanted, without consequences?” MenMeanIdeasWantedValuesNamesWalksCommonMoralPracticeRightsHappenedCitizensBehaviorConsequenceMajorityWitnessParksRomeDisplayProtectedDecencyFoulDecadenceCommon ManMoral ValuesCitizenryDeviantsCommon Decency Author:Francine Rivers
