“An assembly of the states, a court of justice, shows nothing so serious and grave as a table of gamesters playing very high; a melancholy solicitude clouds their looks; envy and rancor agitate their minds while the meeting lasts, without regard to friendship, alliances, birth or distinctions.” MindLooksStatesShowsLastsJusticeSeriousBirthRegardTablesCourtMeetingsCloudsEnvyGravesDistinctionGamblingMelancholyAlliancesAssemblyAgitateSolicitudeRancor Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“At any innocent tea-table we may easily hear a man say, "Life is not worth living." We regard it as we regard the statement that it is a fine day; nobody thinks that it can possibly have any serious effect on the man or on the world.

“I always feel like a doctor who loses a patient on the operating table or something where I felt just devastated and I beat myself up until I get to try it the next night and “I'll get it better tonight.” So I'm hard on myself.

“A lot of the content that goes directly to the internet, or is web-created content, is very hand-held video where you can watch this woman fall off the coffee table, or see a funny little gag, or is interview-style stuff, which is great. I love that. I consume it like crazy. But, this is designed to be reminiscent of what you would see during primetime, and reminiscent of what you would see in a movie theater, on any given weekend, and in that regard, it's brand new.” LittlesHandsFallGivenStuffWatchesCrazyStyleInternetTheaterRegardTablesCoffeeVideoBrandsInterviewsWeekendBrand NewMovie TheaterGags Author:Joseph McGinty Nichol
“Now on to reparative therapy, I think counseling is a wonderful tool for anybody regardless of what struggle they bring to the table. I think we can all use a little bit of counseling on planet earth today. But when it comes to reparative therapy, the reason we have distanced ourselves from it is because some of the things that they employ and some of the messages that I've heard from reparative therapists with regards to what someone can expect once they get through that type of therapy.” ThinkingLittlesReasonUseTodayEarthBitsStruggleWonderfulHeardPlanetsTypeLittle BitMessagesToolsRegardTablesTherapyTherapistsPlanet EarthCounseling Author:Alan Chambers
“I have no problem in asking a diner to leave for two reasons: 1. If they are rude to my staff. No one has that right. If we make a mistake, allow us to rectify it. 2.

“For you deal here above all with human life, and human life is sacred; no one may dare make an attempt upon it. Respect for life, even with regard to the great problem of the birth rate, must find here in your Assembly its highest affirmation and its most rational defense. Your task is to ensure that there is enough bread on the tables of mankind, and not to encourage an artificial control of births, which would be irrational, in order to diminish the number of guests at the banquet of life.” HumansMayEnoughProblemWould BeLife IsOrderDealsNumbersMankindBirthHighestTasksRegardTablesSacredRateDareDefenseBreadRationalHuman LifeAbortionGuestsArtificialIrrationalAffirmationDiminishAssemblyBanquetsBirth Rate Author:Pope Paul VI

“It is true that 'I seem to see a table' does not entail 'I see a table'; but 'I seem to feel a pain' does entail 'I feel a pain'.
