Zen Moments

1.  The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

2.  Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

3.  If you lend someone $20 , and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

4.  If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

5.  Always remember you're unique,  just like everyone else.

Loss Of Vision

History shows, then, that as a result of these unusual forces in the education of the Negro he easily learns to follow the line of least resistance rather than battle against odds for what real history has shown to be the right course.  A mind that remains in the present atmosphere never undergoes sufficient development to experience what is commonly known as thinking.  No Negro thus submerged in the ghetto, then, will have a clear conception of the present status of the race or sufficient foresight to plan for the future; and he drifts so far toward compromise that he loses moral courage.  The education of the Negro, then becomes a perfect device for control from without.

In this untoward situation the Negro finds himself at the close of the third generation from Emancipation.  He has been educated in the sense that persons directed a certain way are more easily controlled, or as Ovid remarked, "In time the bull is brought to bear the yoke."  The Negro in this state continues as a child.

Sport

I'll make my joy a secret thing,

My face shall wear a mask of care;

And those who hunt a joy to death,

Shall never know what sport is there!

Hunting Joy, Stanza 3

Commerce

There was never a war at arms that was not merely the extention of a preceding war of commerce grown fiercer until the weapons of commerce seemed no longer sufficiently deadly.

Heat Wave

There is a section called The Vent in the AJC newspaper.  This appears to be a section where people can let off steam.  Someone submited this observation....

During the heat wave, Fox reported they have cooling-down stations around Atlanta for the poor and homeless.  Here's the kicker: They said they would be posting the locations on their Web sites.

Public Property

When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.

Possession

It is not enough to know about Virtue, then, but we must endeavor to possess it, and to use it or to take any other steps that may make us good.

Aristotle

Entry #143

Speech and Thought

No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is vicious.

Henry Brooks Adams

Entry #141

Women and Morals

Women have commonly, a very positive moral sense; that which they will is right; that which they reject is wrong; and their will in most cases, ends by setting the moral.
