More From C. Northcote Parkinson

The ideas of primary qualities of bodies, are resemblances of them, and their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves; but the ideas, produced in us by these secondary qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. there is nothing like our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. they are in bodies, we denominate from them, only a power to produce those sensations in us: and what is sweet, blue or warm in idea, is but the certain bulk, figure, and motion of the insensible parts in the bodies themselves, which we call so.

Doth not this Æthereal medium in passing out of water, glass, crystal, and other compact and dense bodies into empty spaces, grow denser and denser by degrees, and by that means refract the rays of light not in a point, but by bending them gradually in curve lines? and doth not the gradual condensation of this medium extend to some distance from the bodies, and thereby cause the inflexions of the rays of light, which pass by the edges of dense bodies, at some distance from the bodies?

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

If i want to average 32 points a game, i can do that easily. it's just eight, eight, eight, eight. no problem. i can do that anytime. that's not being cocky. that's confidence.

Unless the religious claims of the bible are again acknowledged, its literary claims will, i think, be given only 'mouth honour' and that decreasingly.
Religious Thinking Mouths
Are not gross bodies and light convertible into one another; and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter into their composition? the changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.

Similar Quotes
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. in every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

The lively phraseology of montesquieu was the result of long meditation. his words, as light as wings, bear on them grave reflections.

Nothing in this world is more inspiring than a soul up against crippling circumstances who carries it off with courage and faith and undefeated character-nothing! see light from many lamps, edited by l. e. watson, article by h. e. fosdick, pp. 93-94 re: a serious cripple who succeeded.
Character Light Soul
After so many years even the fire of passion dies, and with it what was believed the light of the truth. who of us is able to say now whether hector or achilles was right, agamemnon or priam, when they fought over the beauty of a woman who is now dust and ashes?
