“Others will give away large alms in order to be considered charitable people. Should they not give these out of their own wages, which so often they squander on trifles? If this has happened to you, do not forget that you are obliged to pay back to the person concerned all that you gave to the poor without the knowledge or consent of your employers. Then again, there is the one who has been entrusted by his employer with the supervision of the staff, or of workmen, who gives out wine and all sorts of other things to them if they ask him.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldPersonsHas BeensOrderAsksForgetPoorPayHappenedConcernedWineStaffConsentWagesEmployersObligedTriflesCharitableWorkmenAlmsSupervision Author:John Vianney
“When you have arrived at your country house and have saluted your household, you should make the rounds of the farm the same day, if possible; if not, then certainly the next day. When you have observed how the field work has progressed, what things have been done, and what remains undone, you should summon your overseer the next day, and should call for a report of what work has been done in good season and why it has not been possible to complete the rest, and what wine and corn and other crops have been gathered.” IfsShouldHas BeensCountryDoneNextHouseFieldsSeasonsRemainsWineRoundsReportsFarmsHouseholdNext DayCornCropsUndoneCountry Houses Book:Delphi Complete Works of Cato the Elder (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Cato the Elder (Illustrated)
“Do not suppose that abuses are eliminated by destroying the object which is abused. Men can go wrong with wine and women. Shall we then prohibit and abolish women? The sun, the moon, and the stars have been worshiped. Shall we then pluck them out of the sky? ...see how much he [God] has been able to accomplish through me, though I did no more than pray and preach. The Word did it all. Had I wished I might have started a conflagration at Worms.

“At every level, from the microcellular to the psychological, exercise not only wards off the ill effects of chronic stress; it can also reverse them. Studies show that if researchers exercise rats that have been chronically stressed, that activity makes the hippocampus grow back to its preshriveled state. The mechanisms by which exercise changes how we think and feel are so much more effective than donuts, medicines, and wine. When you say you feel less stressed out after you go for a swim, or even a fast walk, you are.” IfsThinkingFeelsHas BeensStatesShowsGrowsWalksLevelsStudyEffectsExerciseActivityStressWineMedicineIllPsychologicalSwimMechanismReverseRatsStressedResearchersDonutsStressed Out Author:John Ratey
