“The universe defies you to answer the following questions: What good is a high paying career if it leaves you continually stressed out and miserable? What good is owning a large stately house if the only time you spend in it is when you sleep in it? What good is having a lot of interesting possessions if you never have the free time to enjoy them? Above all, what good is having a family if you seldom see any of its members?” IfsInspirationalUniverseHouseEnjoySleepAnswersInterestingCareersMembersFollowingPossessionMiserableOnly TimeStressedFree TimeStressed Out Author:Ernie J Zelinski
“Having embraced Islam, I felt as if I were born again! I found in Islam the answers to those queries which I had failed to find in Christianity. Particularly, it was only Islam that provided satisfactory answer to the question relating to the birth of Christ. For the first time I was convinced about the religion itself. I pray my family members might appreciate these facts.” IfsFirstsFactsMightFoundFeltChristBornAnswersChristianityPrayingBirthMembersFirst TimeAppreciateMy FamilyIslamConvincedI PrayBorn AgainFamily MembersQueries Author:Jermaine Jackson
“Community is another such phenomenon. Like electricity, it is profoundly lawful. Yet there remains something about it that is inherently mysterious, miraculous, unfathomable. Thus there is no adequate one-sentence definition of genuine community. Community is something more than the sum of its parts, its individual members. What is this "something more?" Even to begin to answer that, we enter a realm that is not so much abstract as almost mystical. It is a realm where words are never fully suitable and language itself falls short.” FallIndividualLanguageCommunityAnswersMembersRemainsDefinitionsSentencesGenuineMysteriousRealmsAbstractPhenomenonElectricityMysticalAdequateMiraculousSuitableUnfathomableOne Sentence Book:The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace Source: The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace
“Who's counting? It was, of course, the minority who were counting. It always is. Most of the women I know today would dearly like to use their fingers and toes for some activity more enthralling than counting. They have been counting for so long. But the peculiar problem of the new math is that every time we stop adding, somebody starts subtracting. At the very least (the advanced students will understand this) the rate of increase slows. ... The minority members of any group or profession have two answers: They can keep score or they can lose.” KnowsLongHas BeensTwoUseProblemTodayCoursesLosesAnswersGroupsStudentsActivityMembersRacismIncreaseFingersRateMathProfessionDiscriminationInequalityScoreMinoritiesPeculiarToesCountingFingers And Toes Book:Making Sense Source: Making Sense

“You have to answer the question, like it or not. And the questions deserve a valid legal response, even if the response isn't one that will be easily understood.
