“Where two or three are met together, the prayer of one strikes fire from the soul of another; and the latter in his turn leads the way to nobler heights of devotion. And lo! as their joy increases, there is One in their midst whom they all recognize and cling to. He was there before, but it is only when their hearts begin to burn that they recognize Him; and in a true sense they may be said to bring Him there.” WayHeartMaySaidTwoSoulTogetherJoyTurnsThreePrayerFireMetsIncreaseStrikesDevotionHeightLatterMidst Author:James Stalker
“What really does work to increase the feeling of having a home and its comforts is housekeeping. Housekeeping creates cleanliness, order, regularity, beauty, the conditions for health and safety, and a good place to do and feel all the things you wish and need to do and feel in your home. Whether you live alone or with a spouse, parents, and ten children, it is your housekeeping that makes your home alive, that turns it into a small society in its own right, a vital place with its own ways and rhythms, the place where you can be more yourself than you can be anywhere else.” WayNeedsFeelsChildrenDoeFeelingsHomeOrderTurnsWishParentAliveConditionsComfortTenIncreaseSafetyRhythmSpouseCleanlinessGood PlaceRegularityHousekeepingHealth And Safety Author:Cheryl Mendelson
“All the real money in investment will have to be made as most of it has been in the past not out of buying and selling but out of owning and holding securities, receiving interests and dividends therein, and benefiting from their long-term increases in value. Hence stockholder's major energies and wisdom as investors should be directed toward assuring themselves of the best operating results from their corporations. This in turn means assuring themselves of fully honest and competent managements.” ShouldMeanLongHas BeensMadeRealPastValuesTurnsEnergyTermInterestResultsHonestSecurityMajorsIncreaseManagementInvestmentSellingCorporationsLong TermBuyingInvestorsReceivingCompetentDividendsBuying And Selling Author:Benjamin Graham
“Most private traders on a losing streak keep trying to trade their way out of a hole. A loser thinks a successful trade is just around the corner, and that his luck is about to turn. He keeps putting on more trades and increases his size, all the while digging himself a deeper hole in the ice. The sensible thing to do would be to reduce your trading size and then stop and review your system.” ThinkingWayTryingWould BeTurnsSuccessfulLosingIncreaseLuckTradeSizeCornersDeeperHolesIceThings To DoReviewsLoserSensibleTradingKeep TryingDiggingStreaksAround The CornerTraders Author:Alexander Elder
“Once public opinion is convinced that the increase in the quantity of money will continue and never come to an end, and that consequently the prices of all commodities will not cease to rise, everybody becomes eager to buy as much as possible and restrict his cash holdings to minimum size... If the credit expansion is not stopped in time, the boom turns to crack-up boom: the flight into real values begins, and the whole monetary system founders.” IfsRealEndsWholeValuesTurnsOpinionIncreaseInvestingSizeCreditConvincedCeaseFlightCracksCashQuantityFoundersMinimumExpansionCommodityPublic OpinionMonetaryReal ValueMonetary System Author:Ludwig von Mises
“The all American work ethic, destructive enough by itself, also packs a gender double standard that strip-mines the natural resources of both parents. It has taught us that as their earnings and success increase, men become "more manly," while women become "less feminine." This perverse cultural dynamic gives fathers an incentive to stay away from their families and kill themselves at work, while coercing mothers to limit their career commitment, which in turn limits their wages and shortchanges their families.” MenGivingEnoughMotherTurnsFatherParentWomenNaturalCareersMinesTaughtLimitsStandardsEthicsCommitmentResourcesIncreaseGenderDestructiveFemininePacksEarningWagesWork EthicIncentivesNatural ResourcesManlyTaught UsDouble Standard Author:Letty Cottin Pogrebin
