“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society--but now apparently a diminishing one.” WellsChildrenIdeasWholeEyeKidsIndividualParentSidesResponsibilitySecurityPoliticianConsequenceProgramTownsBlockWell BeingBehaveExpensiveStakesRoofCiting Author:Richard Stolley
“The next time you stand in front of a mirror and want to scream, try to remember that God made that face. That smile. Those big eyes...and chubby cheeks. You are His creation, called to reflect Him. Spiritual transformation doesn’t come from a diet program, a bottle, a makeover, or mask. It comes from an intimate relationship with the Savior. He...appreciates us for who we really are. So we can too.” WantTryingMadeBigsEyeRememberFacesSpiritualNextFrontsCreationProgramAppreciateTransformationMirrorsDietsIntimateMaskBottlesSaviorScreamCheeksNext TimeInner BeautyIntimacy With GodTrue BeautySpiritual TransformationIntimate RelationshipsYour BeautifulMakeoversBig EyesChubby Cheeks Author:Luci Swindoll
“I never intended to be a historian of religion.

“Organizations have to come to grips with the fact that tests of adaptive capability aren't always pleasant. Learning can be a powerful emotional event, and organizations have to be cognizant of that. They must understand that those who complete high-quality executive education programs are going to see the organization with fresh eyes after they return. Those who re-enter the workplace filled with new enthusiasm and new ideas often find a chilly response on the part of their supervisors.” IdeasFactsEyePowerfulQualityEventsEmotionalReturnProgramTestsOrganizationFilledResponseEnthusiasmPleasantExecutivesCapabilityNew IdeasWorkplaceHigh QualityAdaptiveChillySupervisorsCognizant Author:Warren G.

“What specialists try to do is get at least three imaging processes that are totally different from each other. Then you can run these through a computer program and make a composite image. In one scenario you suspect a brain tumor, so you image the brain tumor with PET scans, MRIs, and CT scans and create a 3D model. The doctor opens up the skull to excise the cancer, but they can't see anything. Do you cut out what's supposed to be in that spot or not? The current story is yes, you believe the images over what you see with your eyes.” TryingBelieveDifferentEyeRunningBrainCuttingComputerProgramCancerPet Author:Don Ihde

“The sea answers all questions, and always in the same way; for when you read in the papers the interminable discussions and the bickering and the prognostications and the turmoil, the disagreements and the fateful decisions and agreements and the plans and the programs and the threats and the counter threats, then you close your eyes and the sea dispatches one more big roller in the unbroken line since the beginning of the world and it combs and breaks and returns foaming and saying: "So soon?"

“I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum's Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the program which I most desired to see was the one described as ‘The Boneless Wonder’.
