“The stream of thought flows on; but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion. Of some, no memory survives the instant of their passage. Of others, it is confined to a few moments, hours or days. Others, again, leave vestiges which are indestructible, and by means of which they may be recalled as long as life endures.” MayMeanLongMomentsFallHoursMemoriesFlowEndureInstantStreamsPassagesAbyssOblivionConfinedIndestructibleNo Memory Book:The Principles of Psychology Source: The Principles of Psychology
“Time in China has no immediacy as in America. Here I find the swift passage of our few earthly years accepted as naturally as the fall of flower and leaf. ... I hear and speak a language in which grammar has no tense. Both scholars and illiterates, in ordinary daily speech, tell an event of centuries ago as casually as an incident of the hour. Only as my knowledge has accumulated have I been able to know whether something related happened just then or in some past dynasty.” KnowsYearsAbleAmericaPastTimeFallSpeakLanguageHoursHappenedCenturyEventsFlowerSpeechOrdinaryChinaAcceptedRelatedPassagesScholarLeafsGrammarIncidentsTenseDynastyImmediacy Author:Nora Waln
“If you're feeling pain, express that to the Lord. If you're feeling worried, express those worries.

That's really the question of the day.” PeopleIfsGivingFeelingsPainFallLordWorryComfortGive MeWorriedPassagesGood PeopleChaptersVersesFalling ApartPsalmsFeeling Pain Author:Max Lucado
