“It is almost impossible to translate verbally and well at the same time; for the Latin (a most severe and compendious language) often expresses that in one word which either the barbarity or the narrowness of modern tongues cannot supply in more. ...But since every language is so full of its own proprieties that what is beautiful in one is often barbarous, nay, sometimes nonsense, in another, it would be unreasonable to limit a translator to the narrow compass of his author's words; it is enough if he choose out some expression which does not vitiate the sense.” IfsWellsDoeSometimesEnoughWould BeBeautifulLanguageImpossibleModernExpressionLimitsTongueNonsenseLatinTranslateSevereCompassOne WordUnreasonableProprietyTranslatorsBarbarity Author:John Dryden
“If God is watching us, as some believers suggest, as though we were a television show and God had a lot of free time, the deity would surely be bemused by how dumbed-down devotion has sometimes become in this so-called modern era. How might an omnipotent being with the long view of history respond to those who visit the traveling exhibit of a grilled-cheese sandwich, sold on eBay, that is said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary? It certainly argues against intelligent design, or at least intelligent design in humans.” IfsHumansLongSaidSometimesShowsMightViewsModernDesignTelevisionBearsIntelligentArguingBelieverDevotionErasMaryCheeseVirginsDeitiesSandwichesExhibitsTelevision ShowsFree TimeOmnipotentIntelligent DesignVirgin MaryEbayModern EraGrilled CheeseCheese Sandwiches Author:Anna Quindlen
“Growing up closes so many doors. The modern world doesn't allow for miracles, so we don't see them. It's a very precious gift, an open mind, but it's not passive. You've got to nurture it like a bed of roses; otherwise it will wither and die. Make sure you don't close off your mind to things you find strange. Sometimes they may be the only truth.” WorldMindMaySometimesDiesGrowing UpGrowingDoorsModernStrangeBedMiracleRosePassiveNurtureModern WorldOpen MindPrecious GiftsBed Of Roses Author:Tim Lebbon

“Inanimate objects are sometimes parties to litigation. A ship has a legal personality, a fiction found useful for maritime purposes. The corporation sole - a creature of ecclesiastical law - is an acceptable adversary, and large fortunes ride on its cases...

“We can arrive at better solutions to any problem or pain together, than we can by ourselves.

“Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery; restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”” ThinkingKindHas BeensSometimesFatherHouseKnownModernBlessingMiseryCursePortionsRestoringProdigals Author:Charles Spurgeon

“Anyone who has studied the history of technology knows that technological change is always a Faustian bargain: Technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. A new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. Sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. But it is never one-sided. The invention of the printing press is an excellent example. Printing fostered the modern idea of individuality but it destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration.” KnowsIdeasSometimesSocialCommunityTechnologyModernExampleEqualPressesIndividualityInventionDestroyedExcellentTechnologicalIntegrationMedievalBargainsPrintingNew TechnologyPrinting PressOne SidedTechnological Change Author:Neil Postman
