“There is nothing in either savage or civilized history that is more utterly complete, more remorselessly sweeping than the Father of Mercy´s campaign among the Midianites. The official report deals only in masses, all the virgins, all the men, all the babies. all ´creatures that breathe,´ all houses. all cities. It gives you just one vast picture ...as far as the eye can reach, of charred ruins and storm-swept desolation... Would you expect this same conscienceless God, this moral bankrupt, to become a teacher of morals, of gentleness, of meekness, of righteousness, of purity?” MenGivingEyeFatherHouseDealsCitiesMoralTeacherHe ManBabyCreaturesMassMercyStormBreatheCampaignsRuinsOfficialsPurityJust OneReportsCivilizedRighteousnessSavagesVirginsGentlenessSweepingDesolationMeekness Author:Mark Twain
“Profound ignorance makes a man dogmatic. The man who knows nothing thinks he is teaching others what he has just learned himself; the man who knows a great deal can't imagine that what he is saying is not common knowledge, and speaks more indifferently.” ThinkingKnowsMenSpeakDealsCommonImagineTeachingIgnoranceHe ManSpeechProfoundImagine ThatDogmaticCommon KnowledgeTeaching Others Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“Inflation is not a Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor. Rather, it deals most cruelly with those who can least protect themselves. It strikes hardest those millions of our citizens whose incomes do not quickly rise with the cost of living. When prices soar, the pensioner and the widow see their security undermined, the man of thrift sees his savings melt away; the white collar worker, the minister, and the teacher see their standards of living dragged down.” MenGivingWhitePoorDealsMillionsRichTeacherSecurityHe ManCitizensCostProtectStandardsWorkersStrikesIncomeHardestSavingMinistersSoarInflationSavingsHoodWidowsCollarsRobinsStandards Of LivingThriftRobin HoodWhite CollarCost Of Living Author:Dwight D.

“We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. Rights are grand things, divine things in this world of God's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. I can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. Alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.” MenWorldWayFeelsI CanSeemsDealsForeverRightsThis WorldDivineHe ManCallingJudgmentLaborPropertyNobleSelfishnessThese DaysAlasIncarnationWondrous Author:Frederick William Robertson
“Once in a Cabinet we had to deal with the fact that there had been an outbreak of assaults on women at night. One minister suggested a curfew; women should stay home after dark. I said, 'But it's the men who are attacking the women. If there's to be a curfew, let the men stay home, not the women.” IfsMenShouldSaidFactsHomeNightDarkDealsViolenceHe ManMinistersAssaultAttackingCabinetsOutbreaksCurfew Author:Golda Meir
“Comedy is an intellectual affair, and deals chiefly with logic. Tragedy is an emotional affair, and deals chiefly with value. Horace Walpole once said that "life is a comedy to the man who thinks and a tragedy to the man who feels." Comedy is negative; it is a criticism of limitations and an unwillingness to accept them. Tragedy is positive; it is an uncritical acceptance of the positive content of that which is delimited. Since comedy deals with the limitations of actual situations and tragedy with their positive content, comedy must ridicule and tragedy must endorse.” ThinkingMenFeelsSaidLife IsValuesDealsSituationAcceptingComedyAcceptanceEmotionalHe ManIntellectualNegativeCriticismLogicTragedyAffairLimitationRidicule Author:James Kern Feibleman
