“A statue lies hid in a block of marble, and the art of the statuary only clears away the superfluous matter and removes the rubbish. The figure is in the stone; the sculptor only finds it. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul. The philosopher, the saint, or the hero,--the wise, the good, or the great man,--very often lies hid and concealed in a plebeian, which a proper education might have disinterred, and have brought to light.” MenHumansArtSoulMatterLightMightLyingEducationWiseFiguresHeroStonesSaintPhilosopherBlockGreat MenRemoveSculptureStatuesHuman SoulConcealedMarbleRubbishSculptorsSuperfluousPlebeians Book:The works of ...

“Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it out. It is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware; whereas a lie is troublesome, and sets a man's invention upon the rack; and one trick needs a great many more to make it good.” MenNeedsHelpingHandsTruthLyingReadyTruth IsLipsTricksInventionGreat MenConsistentTroublesomeRacks Author:John Tillotson
“The Afghansti have caused a great many people a great deal of grief and have themselves suffered - for a lie, let us not forget - the same ways we in the United States have caused much suffering in Southeast Asia, and have also suffered much in return, also for a lie. It was no small betrayal, no small lesson for a man to learn at the age of 19. Any soldier returning home must rediscover his humanity and establish a livable peace with the discovered, liberated, permanently dark places in his own heart -the darkness that is always with us.” PeopleMenWayHeartStatesHomeAgeLyingSufferingHumanityDarkForgetUnitedDealsGriefDarknessUnited StatesReturnLessonsSoldierBetrayalGreat MenAsiaLiberatedDark PlacesSoutheast AsiaReturning Home Author:Larry Heinemann
