“From its first faint glimmerings, History shews Man's constant progress as a beast of prey. As such he conquers every land, subdues the fruit-fed races, founds mighty realms by subjugating other subjugators, forms states and sets up civilisations, to enjoy his prey at rest.” MenFirstsStatesFormFoundEnjoyRaceProgressLandConstantFruitConquerRealmsBeastFedsPreyCivilisation Book:Religion and Art Source: Religion and Art

“There is nothing so difficult to describe as happiness. Whether some feeling of envy enters into the mind upon hearing of it, or whether it is so calm, so unassuming, so little ostentatious in itself, that words give an imperfect idea of it, I know not. It is easier to enjoy it, than define it. ... and is oftener found at home, when home has not been embittered by dissensions, suspicions and guilt, than any where else upon earth. Yes, it is in home and in those who watch there for us.” KnowsGivingMindLittlesIdeasFeelingsHomeEarthHappinessFoundEnjoyDifficultWatchesEasierGuiltCalmHearingEnvyImperfectSuspicionDissensionUnassumingOstentatious Book:The Works of Lady Caroline Lamb: Glenarvon (1816) Source: The Works of Lady Caroline Lamb: Glenarvon (1816)
“Some people don't have an open mind, and when I was traveling to different places I think I found it hard to enjoy things.

“If there ever was a pursuit which stultified itself by its very conditions, it is the pursuit of pleasure as the all-sufficing end of life. Happiness cannot come to any man capable of enjoying true happiness unless it comes as the sequel to duty well and honestly done. To do that duty you need to have more than one trait. From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.” IfsMenNeedsWellsSoulEndsDoneLife IsJoyFoundEnjoyPleasureConditionsDutyCapableBurdenHonestlyPursuitTraitsSmallestTrue HappinessTruestUsefulnessLife HappinessJoy Of LifeSequelsEnd Of Life Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game,but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.” PeopleIfsWellsDifferentFoundGamesSportsEnjoyHalfWatchesViolenceTeamFieldsFootballThousandQuietIntellectualEmptyBaseballBallsExcitingAppealsParksComparisonAfternoonAestheticStadiumsBounceTuesdayFootball GameSports TeamOne Sided Author:Bowie Kuhn
