More From Joseph Joubert

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

I'm old enough now that i've been around and i've seen a lot more things than i had seen when i started this program 27 years. i have seen presidents in action. i have been to the white house a number of times. i have been to fundraisers. i have been seen what happens at fundraisers. i've seen how elected officials treat fundraisers and donors and, believe me, the world revolves around them.

It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.

Memory haunts me from age to age, and passion leads me by the hand--evil have i done, and with sorrow have i made acquaintance from age to age, and from age to age evil shall i do, and sorrow shall i know till my redemption comes.

He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.

Inspirational Travel Journey
The traveler from europe edges into it like a tiny jonah entering an inconceivably large whale, slipping past the straits of belle isle into the gulf of st. lawrence, where five canadian provinces surround him, for the most part invisible... to enter canada is a matter of being silently swallowed by an alien continent.
