“What will you do if your product still further increases next year? You should then destroy again the warehouses which you are now preparing to build, and build bigger. For the reason why God has given you fruitful harvests is that He might either overcome your avarice or condemn it; wherefore you can have no excuse. But you keep for yourself what He wished to be produced through you for the benefit of many - nay, rather, you rob even yourself of it, since you would better preserve it for yourself if you distributed it to others.” IfsShouldYearsStillsReasonMightNextGivenProductsBenefitsOvercomingBiggerIncreaseExcusePreservesReason WhyConsumerismPreparingHarvestNext YearAvariceNo ExcusesOverconsumptionWarehouse Author:Ambrose
“My career as a critic still lay in the future but unconsciously I may have been preparing for it. They were not easy companions, these intellectuals I was now getting to know.

But they were intellectually energetic and - this particularly attracted me - they were proof against cant.” KnowsMayHas BeensStillsEasyCommonCareersLaysCriticsIntellectProofCompanionArrogantPreparingCantCourtesyEnergeticMagnanimityOverbearingCommon Courtesy Book:The Beginning of the Journey: The Marriage of Diana and Lionel Trilling Source: The Beginning of the Journey: The Marriage of Diana and Lionel Trilling
“From the beginning it was drilled into me that a golf course was a place where character fully reveals itself -- both its strengths and its flaws. As a result, I learned early not only to fix my ball marks but also to congratulate an opponent on a good shot, avoid walking ahead of a player preparing to shoot, remain perfectly still when someone else was playing, and a score of other small courtesies that revealed, in my father's mind, one's abiding respect for the game.” MindStillsCharacterCoursesFatherGamesResultsPlayerWalkingShotsBallsMarkGolfOpponentsScoreFlawsPreparingCourtesyAbidingGolf Course Author:Arnold Palmer
