More From Francois Rabelais

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. self-confidence is only one part of confidence. people also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. he only dreamed of places now and the lions on the beach. they played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy. he never dreamed about the boy. he simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on.

God does not... give people positions or jobs or... good conditions such as they desire; they must do that for themselves.. god does not build cities nor towns nor nations, nor homes, nor factories; men and people do that and all those who want must work for themselves and pray to god to give them strength to do it.

Wisdom is neither gold, nor silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor health, nor strength, nor beauty.
