“For there is one thing I can safely say: that those bound by love must obey each other if they are to keep company long. Love will not be constrained by mastery; when mastery comes, the God of love at once beats his wings, and farewell he is gone. Love is a thing as free as any spirit; women naturally desire liberty, and not to be constrained like slaves; and so do men, if I shall tell the truth.” IfsMenLoveLongI CanSpiritDesireLove IsCompanyLibertyGoneOne ThingBeatsWingsSlaveBoundsTelling The TruthInspirational LoveMasteryFarewellOne LoveLong LoveGone Love Book:The Canterbury tales Source: The Canterbury tales
“Today, even amongst Christians, there can be found much of that spirit that wants to give as little as possible to the Lord, and yet to get as much as possible from Him. The prevailing thought today is of being used, as though that were the one thing that mattered. That my little rubber band should be stretched to the very limit seems all important. But this is not the Lord's mind. The Lord wants us to be used, yes; but what He is after is that we pour all we have, ourselves, to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.” IfsWantGivingShouldMindLittlesImportantEnoughSeemsTodayChristianUsedSpiritFoundLordOne ThingBandLimitsDiscipleshipWant UPrevailingRubberRubber BandsChristian Discipleship Author:Watchman Nee
“One thing I hate about the New Deal is that it is killing what, to me, is the American pioneering spirit. I simply do not know what to tell my own boys, leaving school and confronting this new world whose ideal is Security and whose practice is dependence upon government instead of upon one's self. All the old character-values seem simply insane from a practical point of view; the self-reliant, the independent, the courageous man is penalized from every direction.” KnowsMenWorldSelfCharacterSeemsGovernmentSchoolSpiritValuesHateMy OwnViewsDealsBoysPracticeOne ThingSecurityIdealsI HateIndependentKillingLeavingPoint Of ViewPracticalsInsaneCourageousNew WorldDependenceConfrontingNew DealPioneeringSelf ReliantThings I HateCourageous ManLeaving SchoolPioneering Spirit Author:Rose Wilder Lane
“What we know for sure is that metaphor is the raw uranium of poetry, and that an urge to say that one thing is like something else is one of the earliest markers of the poetic spirit, the nascent poet.” KnowsSpiritOne ThingPoetMetaphorUrgesPoeticLike SomethingMarkersUranium Author:Tony Hoagland
