“Finally, it is important to make it clear that imagination is not an exercise for those detached from reality, those who live in the air. On the contrary, when we imagine something, we do it necessarily conditioned by a lack in our concrete reality. When children imagine free and happy schools, it is because their real schools deny them freedom and happiness.” ChildrenImportantRealRealitySchoolImaginationClearImagineAirSocietyExerciseDenyContraryConcreteDetachedFreedom And Happiness Author:Paulo Freire

“It's quite clear that stocks are cheaper than bonds. I can't imagine anybody having bonds in their portfolio when they can own equities, a diversified group of equities.

“I imagine it great vanity in me to suppose that the Supremely Perfect does in the least regard such an inconsiderable nothing as man. More especially, since it is impossible for me to have any positive, clear idea of that which is infinite and incomprehensible, I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.” MenDoeIdeasGodFatherReligiousPerfectClearImagineImpossibleWorshipPraiseInfiniteRegardVanity Book:A Benjamin Franklin Reader Source: A Benjamin Franklin Reader

“God must act and pour himself into you the moment he finds you ready. Don't imagine that God can be compared to an earthly carpenter, who acts or doesn't act, as he wishes; who can will to do something or leave it undone, according to his pleasure.
