If we could make up our minds to spare our friends all details of ill health, of money losses, of domestic annoyances, of altercations, of committee work, of grievances, provocations, and anxieties, we should sin less against the world's good-humor. it may not be given us to add to the treasury of mirth; but there is considerable merit in not robbing it.

If We Could Make Up Our Minds

More From Agnes Repplier

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
You know, hillary clinton's out there saying, we need smart diplomacy. we need to do smart power. and that means empathizing with our enemy, understanding their grievances, like we understand the grievances of homosexuals, like we understand the grievances of african-americans. we must learn to understand the grievances of isis.
Smart Mean Isis
Howbeit your faith seeth but the black side of providence, yet it hath a better side, and god shall let you see it. ... “for we know that all things work together for good to them that love god,” ergo, shipwreck, losses, &c., work together for the good of them that love god: hence i infer, that losses, disappointments, ill tongues, loss of friends, houses, or country, are god's workmen, set on work to work out good to you, out of everything that befalleth you.
Country Disappointment Loss
Never have i enjoyed youth so thoroughly as i have in my old age. in writing dialogues in limbo, the last puritan, and now all these descriptions of the friends of my youth and the young friends of my middle age, i have drunk the pleasure of life more pure, more joyful than it ever was when mingled with all the hidden anxieties and little annoyances of actual living. nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit. and spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure.

I think that the bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. so i don't think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
Hate Pride Thinking
Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.

It is on account of the ego that one is not able to see god. in front of the door of god's mansion lies the stump of ego. one cannot enter the mansion without jumping over the stump.

I love talking about the kennedy assassination. the reason i do is because i'm fascinated by it. i'm fascinated that our government could lie to us so blatantly, so obviously for so long, and we do absolutely nothing about it.
Lying Government Talking
The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. we subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
