“The world is God's workshop; the raw materials are His; the ideals and patterns are His; our hands are "the members of Christ," our reward His recognition. Blacksmith or banker, draughtsman or doctor, painter or preacher, servant or statesman, must work as unto the Lord, not merely making a living, but devoting a life. This makes life sacramental, turning its water into wine. This is twice blessed, blessing both the worker and the work.” WorldHandsChristWaterLordMaterialsBlessingMembersIdealsDoctorsBlessedWineRewardsWorkersPatternsPainterRecognitionServantPreacherBankersStatesmenWorkshopsRaw MaterialsMaking A LivingBlacksmiths Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
“The chemical compounds are comparable to a system of planets in that the atoms are held together by chemical affinity. They may be more or less numerous, simple or complex in composition, and in the constitution of the materials, they play the same role as Mars and Venus do in our planetary system, or the compound members such as our earth with its moon, or Jupiter with its satellites... If in such a system a particle is replaced by one of different character, the equilibrium can persist, and then the new compound will exhibit properties similar to those shown by the original substance.” IfsMayDifferentPlayCharacterEarthTogetherSimpleRolesPlanetsMaterialsMoonMembersConstitutionOriginalsPropertyComplexesSubstanceChemicalsAtomsCompositionReplacedPersistMarsParticlesExhibitsCompoundsEquilibriumVenusSatellitesAffinityDifferent CharactersJupiterChemical Compounds Author:Jean-Baptiste Dumas
“When I decided to make my version of Poe's stories, I wanted to respect the original material or to at least get closer to what his stories are really about. Most other adaptations I've seen sort of follow the story but they never satisfy me as an audience member or as a reader.” StoriesWantedAudienceMaterialsReaderMembersDecidedOriginalsVersionsAdaptation Author:Raul Garcia
“To paraphrase president Kennedy's inaugural, the torch has been passed to a new generation of cartoonists and they are doing really interesting stuff, taking the old cliches and breathing new life into them and inventing new ones.

“The United States is looking at a way to launch peace with a disarmed Iraq. And so we are studying the declaration that Iraq submitted. Other members of the security council are studying the declaration, as is Unmovic and IAEA, and I would not make a judgment as to whether or not the declaration will be found deficient and whether or not that might lead to a material breach and whether or not, if it did, that would lead to action on the part of the United Nations.” IfsWayStatesMightActionFoundNationsUnitedUnited StatesStudySecurityMaterialsMembersJudgmentIraqDeclarationUnited NationsCouncilBreachSecurity Council Author:Colin Powell
“My love of classical hit pretty early. I was 13 when it occurred, and that was really the only music I listened to for many, many years. I went to a conservatory, but I always knew I would be in the pop world, because A) it was more fun and B) you didn't have to practice as much and you could go out more. But I immediately saw this opportunity to inject my material with these sounds that most members of my generation really didn't know about, so it was a great way to differentiate myself from the pack.” KnowsWorldWayYearsWould BeOpportunityFunSoundPracticeSawsGenerationsMaterialsMembersPopsPacksMy GenerationDifferentiateConservatory Author:Rufus Wainwright
“One time, the Library of Congress was giving books to local libraries around the country on Islam. The library of a guy named Walter Jones, who's a member of Congress from North Carolina, got some books and resource materials, and he got up in the press and said he didn't want any Muslim books in the library. And the people said, "Wait a minute, that's kind of anti-Muslim." He said, "Oh no, Keith Ellison is a friend of mine." And I said, "You know what? We are friends, but you're wrong about this.” PeopleKnowsWantGivingKindSaidBookCountryGuyWaitingMinutesMinesMaterialsMembersResourcesPressesIslamLibraryCongressLocalsOne TimeCarolinaNorth CarolinaKeith Author:Keith Ellison
