“Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the War; will be impressed by all the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.” MeanBookWarSchoolEducationEnemyHistoryStruggleTeacherWrittenInfluenceSubjectsYouthFitGiving UpRegardSurrenderVersionsCivil WarHeroicImpressedVeteranTraitorSchool TeachersConfederateGallantDerision Author:Patrick Cleburne
“I've done roles before where I've wanted to be buff and sort of fit or whatever. And I like to try and be a little bit fit because there's usually one scene in a movie where you've got to run, which means you've got to run for about five hours nonstop. So, for me, it's just worthwhile being fit because doing a movie can be kind of grueling for six, seven, eight weeks. Or 12 weeks.” TryingKindMeanLittlesDoneRunningWantedBitsHoursRolesFiveWeekFitSceneSixLittle BitSevenEightBe KindWorthwhile Author:Guy Pearce
“The human race has today the means for annihilating itself--either in a fit of complete lunacy, i.e., in a big war...or by the careless handling of atomic technology, through a slow process of poisoning and of deterioration in its genetic structure.” HumansMeanWarBigsTodayPeaceProcessRaceTechnologyFitStructureHuman RaceCarelessPoisoningDeteriorationLunacy Author:Max Born
“Nobody is fit to rule anybody else. It is not alleged that Mankind is perfect, or that merely through his/her natural goodness (or lack of same) he/she should (or should not) be permitted to rule. Rule as such causes abuse. There are no superpeople nor privileged classes who are above 'imperfect Mankind' and are capable or entitled to rule the rest of us.

“Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you’re not carefree you keep on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so tight; it gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from within, not constricted. Carefree doesn’t mean careless. It is not that you don’t care about others, not that you don’t have compassion or are unfriendly. Carefree is being really simple, from the inside. Dignity is not conceit but rather what shines forth from this carefree confidence.” IfsMeanCareSimpleCompassionFitDignityShiningDon't CareWideBeing RealCarelessConceitCarefreeUnfriendly Author:Tsoknyi Rinpoche
“So far as discipline is concerned, freedom means not its absence but the use of higher and more rational forms as contrasted with those that are lower or less rational. A free discipline controls the individual by appealing to his reason and conscience, and therefore to his self-respect; while an unfree control works upon some lower phase of the mind, and so tends to degrade him. It is freedom to be disciplined in as rational a manner as you are fit for.” MindMeanSelfReasonUseFormIndividualHigherDisciplineFitConscienceConcernedAbsenceRationalSelf RespectPhasesDegradeUnfree Book:Human Nature and the Social Order Source: Human Nature and the Social Order
