“What misery to live in this world! We are like men whose enemies are at the door, who must not lay aside their arms, even while sleeping or eating, and are always in dread lest the foe should enter the fortress by some breach in the walls.

How canst thou wish us to prize such a wretched existence?” MenWorldLifeShouldWishSleepExistenceLordEnemyDoorsThis WorldWallArmsEatingLaysMiseryPrizeDreadFoeWretchedBreachFortresses Book:The Interior Castle, or the Mansions Source: The Interior Castle, or the Mansions

“The Soviet Union's propaganda clearly wishes to use public opinion in this country to get the West to reduce its own arms while doing nothing themselves.

“At a time when the threat of nuclear arms is again increasing, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to underline that this threat must be met through the broadest possible international cooperation. This principle finds its clearest expression today in the work of the IAEA and its Director General. In the nuclear non-proliferation regime, it is the IAEA which ensures that nuclear energy is not misused for military purposes, and the Director General has stood out as an unafraid advocate of new measures to strengthen that regime.” TodayPurposeEnergyWishPrinciplesMilitaryExpressionArmsMetsDirectorsThreatInternationalNuclearCooperationRegimesCommitteesNobelProliferationUnafraidMisusedNorwegiansNuclear EnergyNuclear ArmsInternational Cooperation Author:Mohamed ElBaradei

“Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he That every man in arms should wish to be? It is the generous spirit, who, when brought Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought: Whose high endeavors are an inward light That makes the path before him always bright: Who, with a natural instinct to discern What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn; And in himself posses his own desire” MenShouldRealLightHappinessSpiritDesireWishNaturalPathPlansArmsTasksInstinctEvery ManReal LifeWarriorGenerousEndeavorInwardDiligentPosseNatural InstinctBoyishGenerous Spirit Author:William Wordsworth
“The art of invective resembles the art of boxing. Very few fights are won with the straight left. It is too obvious, and it can betoo easily countered. The best punches, like the best pieces of invective in this style, are either short-arm jabs, unexpectedly rapid and deadly; or else one-two blows, where you prepare your opponent with the first hit, and then, as his face comes forward, connect with your other fist: one, two. Both are effective; but they can be administered only by a real artist, with a real wish to knock his enemy out.” FirstsArtTwoRealFacesArtistFightingLeftWishEnemyPiecesStyleArmsBlowObviousOpponentsBoxingFistsRapidsReal Artists Author:Gilbert Highet
“God would not make me wish for something impossible and so, in spite of my littleness, I can aim at being a saint. It is impossible for me to grow bigger, so I put up with myself as I am, with all my countless faults. But I will look for some means of going to heaven by a little way which is very short and very straight, a little way that is quite new[...] It is your arms, Jesus, which are the lift to carry me to heaven, And so there is no need for me to grow up. In fact, just the opposite: I must stay little and become less and less.” WayNeedsLooksMeanLittlesI CanFactsJesusHeavenWishGrowsGrowing UpImpossibleArmsOppositesBiggerAimFaultsSaintLiftsSpiteGoing To Heaven Author:Therese of Lisieux
