“When our Lord says, 'I have not spoken of Myself' (Jn. 12:49), and again, 'As the Father said to Me, so I speak' (Jn. 12:50), and 'The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's Who sent Me' (Jn. 14:24), and in another place, 'As the Father commanded Me, even so I do' (Jn. 14:31), it is not because He lacks deliberate purpose or power of initiative, nor yet because He has to wait for the preconcerted key-note, that He employs language of this kind. His object is to make it plain that His own will is connected in indissoluble union with the Father.” KindSaidChristianPurposeFatherSpeakLanguageWaitingLordObjectsMinesKeysUnionsNotesConnectedOrthodoxInitiativeDeliberateOur LordOrthodox Christian Author:Saint Basil
“Enthusiasm is always connected with the senses, whatever be the object that excites it. The true strength of virtue is serenity of mind, combined with a deliberate and steadfast determination to execute her laws. That is the healthful condition of the moral life; on the other hand, enthusiasm, even when excited by representations of goodness, is a brilliant but feverish glow which leaves only exhaustion and languor behind.” MindHandsLawBehindsMoralVirtueConditionsObjectsGoodnessDeterminationExcitedConnectedBrilliantSensesEnthusiasmSerenityRepresentationDeliberateExhaustionSteadfastTrue StrengthMoral Life Author:Immanuel Kant
“Your mind, in order to defend itself starts to give life to inanimate objects. When that happens it solves the problem of stimulus and response because literally if you're by yourself you lose the element of stimulus and response. Somebody asks a question, you give a response. So, when you lose the stimulus and response, what I connected to is that you actually create all the stimulus and response.” IfsGivingMindProblemHappensOrderAsksLosesObjectsElementsResponseConnectedSolveStimulusInanimate ObjectsStimulus And Response Author:Willi Smith
“Painting gives the object itself; poetry what it implies. Painting embodies what a thing contains in itself; poetry suggests what exists out of it, in any manner connected with it.” GivingPoetryObjectsPaintingConnected Book:Lectures on the English comic writers, and Lectures on the English poets Source: Lectures on the English comic writers, and Lectures on the English poets
