“Margaret Miles offers a stunning treatment of human experience, coaxing humans to leave dualisms behind and embrace our intelligent bodies. In a foundational text, she draws on the arts, philosophy and theology, and her experience as a hospice volunteer to explore concrete alternatives to privileging the rational mind. Her erudition, wisdom, and graceful writing are compelling proof of the intelligent body.” WritingMindHumansArtPhilosophyBodyBehindsOffersDrawsIntelligentEmbraceProofMilesTheologyRationalAlternativesTreatmentConcreteCompellingVolunteerHuman ExperienceStunningDualismEruditionHospice Author:Mary E.

“In contemporary society secular humanism has been singled out by critics and proponents alike as a position sharply distinguishable from any religious formulation. Religious fundamentalists in the United States have waged a campaign against secular humanism, claiming that it is a rival "religion" and seeking to root it out from American public life.

“Early in life, I decided that I would not be overcome by events. My philosophy has been that regardless of the circumstances, I shall not be vanquished, but will try to be happy. Life is not easy for any of us. But it is a continual challenge, and it is up to us to be cheerful - and to be strong, so that those who depend on us may draw strength from our example.” TryingMayHas BeensPhilosophyLife IsStrongEasyChallengesEventsExampleDependsCircumstancesDrawsDecidedOvercomingHappy LifeCheerfulLife Is Not EasyTrying To Be Happy Author:Rose Kennedy
“Our very success, gained you will agree by skill, will draw more people than ever to see it. And that will benefit many more clubs than Rangers. Let the others come after us. We welcome the chase. It is healthy for us. We will never hide from it. Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers.” PeopleWayYearsHas BeensMatterPhilosophySuccessFootballFailureHealthySkillsAnxietyBenefitsDrawsOvercomingStrongerAgreeClubsCoachesToleranceTrialsWelcomeHidingSanityChasingNo FearKey To SuccessRoad To SuccessEmergingPioneersBeing StrongSkillfulEmergenceRangersNever FearGallantMotivational Football Author:Bill Struth
“In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sapand seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it--and tries to live off philosophy.” WayTryingFirstsPhilosophySchoolThreeWaitingProduceSucceedDrawsThirdsPhilosophicalVictimCaughtFollowingSeedsThinkerThreadSpidersSynthetic Author:Friedrich Nietzsche

“But the idols of the Market Place are the most troublesome of all: idols which have crept into the understanding through their alliances with words and names. For men believe that their reason governs words. But words turn and twist the understanding. This it is that has rendered philosophy and the sciences inactive. Words are mostly cut to the common fashion and draw the distinctions which are most obvious to the common understanding. Whenever an understanding of greater acuteness or more diligent observation would alter those lines to suit the true distinctions of nature, words complain.” MenBelieveReasonPhilosophyTurnsNamesBeliefLanguageUnderstandingLinesCommonGreaterCuttingFashionDrawsObviousComplainingSuitsObservationDistinctionIdolsTwistsAlliancesDiligentTroublesome Author:Francis Bacon
“The registering of doubts hath two excellent uses: the one, that it saveth philosophy from errors and falsehoods; when that which is not fully appearing is not collected into assertion, whereby error might draw error, but reserved in doubt: the other, that the entry of doubts are as so many suckers or sponges to draw use of knowledge; insomuch as that which, if doubts had not preceded, a man should never have advised, but passed it over without note, by the suggestion and solicitation of doubts, is made to be attended and applied.” IfsMenShouldMadeTwoPhilosophyUseMightDoubtHealthyDrawsErrorsNotesExcellentFalsehoodSkepticismSuggestionsReservedAssertionEntryAppearingSuckerSpongesSolicitationUse Of Knowledge Author:Francis Bacon
