“No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues; and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality.” IfsNationsGrowthLosesLossVirtueDeserveRegardDuesLuxuryEasePermitTwistedIndulgenceHeartlessAbsorbingSentimentalityEffortlessCommercialism Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Barack Obama's been president for about eight hours; President Obama was here for eight years. So if you want to talk about numbers that matter, it's quantifying all the losses - the women who were slid into poverty, those who can't find meaningful work, and their children who deserve a better life.” IfsWantYearsChildrenMatterPresidentHoursLossNumbersPovertyDeserveEightMeaningfulBarackPresident ObamaBetter LifeFind MeMeaningful Work Author:Kellyanne Conway
“I was grateful that Facebook already had generous bereavement policies . Now Facebook employees receive 20 days paid leave to grieve the loss of an immediate family member and 10 days for an extended family member. I'm proud that we're able to do this and I hope more businesses do the same. Only 60 percent of private sector workers get paid time off after the death of a loved one, and then it's usually just a few days. Workers and families deserve better than that.” LossPolicyProudDeserveGratefulGenerousGrievingEmployeeLoved OnesDeath Of A Loved OneBereavementExtended FamilyDeserve Better Author:Sheryl Sandberg
“My scrapbook albums are about capturing and saving the everyday joys of my whole family. In fact, in lots of ways, it's every bit as important to get the pets we love into an album or something that's going to keep them with us forever. There's not a pet owner out there who hasn't felt the loss of a treasured friend. An album lets us hold onto the good times. I've seen some incredible, touching, adorable books put together for pets - because clearly they deserve it. These are unconditional, lifelong friends.” ImportantBookTogetherJoyLossForeverDeserveEverydayIncrediblesPetGood TimesTouchingUnconditionalLifelongAdorable Author:Nancy O'Dell
“To see and feel one's beloved naked for the first time is one of life's pure, irreducible epiphanies. If there is a true religion in the universe, it must include that truth of contact or be forever hollow. To make love to the one true person who deserves that love is one of the few absolute rewards of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness, loneliness, idiocy, compromise, and clumsiness that go with the human condition. To make love to the right person makes up for a lot of mistakes.” IfsFeelsFirstsHumansPersonsPainUniverseSexHuman BeingsLossLove IsMistakeForeverConditionsLonelinessPureDeserveFirst TimeAbsolutesRewardsNakedContactCompromiseBelovedHuman ConditionMaking LoveHollowEpiphanyRight PersonTrue ReligionAwkwardnessIdiocyClumsinessEndymionTrue Person Book:Rise of Endymion Source: Rise of Endymion
