More From George Herbert

At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
Past Silence Would Be
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Let not therefore thy heart be troubled, neither let it fear. trust in me, and put thy confidence in my mercy. when thou thinkest thyself farthest off from me, oftentimes i am nearest unto thee. when thou countest almost all to be lost, then oftentimes the greatest gain of reward is close at hand. all is not lost, when any thing falleth out contrary. thou oughtest not to judge according to present feeling; nor so to take any grief, or give thyself over to it.
Grief Heart Hands
What i mean by socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all - the realisation at last of the meaning of the word 'commonwealth.'
Mean Heart Men
Now i know surely and forever, however much i have blotted our waking love, its memory is still there. and i know the web, the net, the blind and crippled bird. for then, for one brief instant it was not blind, nor trapped, not crippled. for one heart beat the heart was free and moved itself. o love, i who am lost and damned with words, whose words are a business and an art, i have no words. these words, this poem, this is all confusion and ignorance. but i know that coached by your sweet heart, my heart beat one free beat and sent through all my flesh the blood of truth.
Life Sweet Art
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. we don't want yellow cowards in this army. they should be killed off like rats. if not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. the brave men will breed more brave men. kill off the goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

War History Would Be
If god thinks this state of war in the universe is a price worth paying for free will--that is, for making a live world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when he pulls the strings--then we may take it it is worth paying.

This country was taken into war based on lies about weapons of mass destruction and al qaeda's role with respect to iraq, which there wasn't one at the time we went in. i want to state that mr. cheney must be held accountable. he is already ginning up a cause for war against iran. now, we have to stand for this constitution, we have to protect and defend this constitution.
