“The ultimate test of my understanding of the scriptural teaching is the amount of time I spend in prayer. As theology is ultimately the knowledge of God, the more theology I know, the more it should drive me to seek to know God. Not to know about Him but to know Him! The whole object of salvation is to bring me to knowledge of God. If all my knowledge does not lead me to prayer there is something wrong somewhere.” IfsKnowsShouldDoeWholeUnderstandingPrayerTeachingObjectsAmountTestsUltimateSalvationTheologyKnowing GodLeading MeKnowledge Of God Author:Martyn
“When every one is to cultivate himself into man, condemning a man to machine-like labor amounts to the same thing as slavery. If a factory-worker must tire himself to death twelve hours and more, he is cut off from becoming man. Every labor is to have the intent that the man be satisfied.... His labor is nothing taken by itself, has no object in itself, is nothing complete in itself; he labors only into another's hands, and is used (exploited) by this other.” IfsMenHandsUsedHoursTakenCuttingObjectsHe ManAmountBecomingLaborMachinesSlaveryWorkersSatisfiedFactoriesTwelveTireCondemningFactory Workers Author:Max Stirner
“PLEASURE and pain are undoubtedly the ultimate objects of the calculus of economics. To satisfy our wants to the utmost with the least effort - to procure the greatest amount of what is desirable at the expense of the least that is undesirable - in other words, to maximize pleasure, is the problem of economics.” WantProblemPainPleasureEffortObjectsAmountEconomicsUltimateExpensesDesirableCalculusPain And PleasureUndesirable Book:The Theory of Political Economy Source: The Theory of Political Economy
“I don't pretend to any exemption from the general lot of parental delusion-I mean that like most other parents I see my child through an atmosphere which illuminates, magnifies, and at the same time refines the object to a degree that amounts to a delusion.” MeanChildrenParentObjectsAmountDegreesAtmosphereMy ChildrenDelusionParentalExemption Book:Memoir and Letters of Sara Coleridge Source: Memoir and Letters of Sara Coleridge
“Think about the physical act of pulling a trigger. The amount of pressure it takes to pull a trigger or the speed it takes to shove a sharp object into somebody. The psychology behind it.

“Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume.

“Parents sometimes object to the amount of humor introduced into stories that are designed to teach moral or spiritual lessons.

“Organizing time is exactly like organizing space. Just as a closet is a limited amount of space into which you must fit a certain number of objects, a schedule is a limited space into which you must fit a certain number of tasks. Each day and each week is simply a container, a storage unit with a definite capacity. The trick is to treat time not as an abstraction but as something solid that you can hold on to and move around.” MovingCertainSpaceNumbersWeekObjectsAmountFitCapacityTasksTreatsTricksOrganizedEach DayDefiniteUnitsSchedulesClosetsAbstractionStorageContainers Author:Julie Morgenstern
