Benefits Littles Endeavor

More From Thomas A Kempis

Children are not deceived by fairy-tales; they are often and gravely deceived by school-stories. adults are not deceived by science-fiction ; they can be deceived by the stories in the women's magazines.

Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.

Karma, ahhh. we sow what we reap... we reap what we sow! we reap what we sow. the law of cause and effect. and we are all under this law.

Life responds to deserve and not to need. it doesn't say,"if you need,you will reap." it says,"if you plant you will reap."the guys says,"i really need to reap."then you really need to plant.

There is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only secondary value. this absolute will to truth: what is it? is it the will to not allow ourselves to be deceived? is it the will not to deceive? one does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived.

All that serves labor serves the nation. all ^ that harms labor is treason to america. no line can be drawn between these two. if any man tells you he loves america, yet hates labor, he is a liar. if any man tells you he trusts america, yet fears labor, he is a fool. there is no america without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.

Similar Quotes

I was brought up to never lie. sure, i have. but in the final mix, the lies i've told are far outweighed by the truths i've lived.

Only those who have never known fear are allowed to think less of others for being afraid. frankly, i think anyone who has never been afraid of anything in their entire life is either a liar or lacks imagination.

It is fitting that a liar should be a man of good memory.

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.
