“In the old days, land was important as the giver of all things. That period is gone now. Technology and brainpower are all that matters and yet conflicts over land, specially one like on the India-China border, that yields nothing, continue. This is a burden of ancient history that we continue to carry. If tomorrow there is settlement on planet Mars, we will begin to worry if others are interested.” IfsImportantMatterPoliticsTechnologyWorryGoneLandPlanetsTomorrowPeriodsConflictAll ThingsIndiaAncientBurdenChinaBordersYieldMarsGiverOld DaysSettlementAncient History Author:John Kenneth Galbraith
“I compare the troubles which we have to undergo in the course of the year to a great bundle of sticks, far too large for us to lift. But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for us each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to our load, before we are required to bear it.” IfsGivingYearsFirstsDoeWholeMightTodayCoursesChristianityTroubleBearsTomorrowIncreaseSticksBurdenYesterdayManageLiftsCompareEach DayLoadBundles Author:John Newton

“The absence of marriages will result in all kinds of financial burdens that gay people wouldn't face if they could get married. If my brother gets hit by a car tomorrow, my sister-in-law will go on living materially in the same way that she does now. If the same thing happens to me, a great deal of what I have will go off to the taxman. That's because of one of, as you doubtless know, eleven hundred federal laws that favor marriage.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayKindDoeHappensFacesLawResultsDealsCarBrotherGoes OnTomorrowGayMarriedHundredFinancialBurdenAbsenceFavorsThings HappenAll KindsMy BrotherMy SisterElevenIn-lawsGay PeopleSister In LawFinancial Burden Author:Andrew Solomon

“Much as we wish, not one of us can bring back yesterday or shape tomorrow. Only today is ours, and it will not be ours for long, and once it is gone it will never in all time be ours again. Thou only knowest what it holds in store for us, yet even we know something of what it will hold. The chance to speak the truth, to show mercy, to ease another’s burden. The chance to resist evil, to remember all the good times and good people of our past, to be brave, to be strong, to be glad.” PeopleKnowsLongShowsTodayPastRememberEvilSpeakStrongWishChanceGoneTomorrowShapesMercyBraveBurdenStoresYesterdayGladAll TimeEaseGood TimesGood PeopleOur PastBe BraveSpeak The Truth Book:The hungering dark Source: The hungering dark
