More From Gerald R. Ford

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
Dancing and building are the two primary and essential arts. the art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that expressthemselves first in the human person. the art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite. music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture, painting, all the arts of design, in the other. there is no primary art outside these two arts, for their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first.

Look at the great athletes, musician, artists, and writers. they all tap into a source. some call that source god or soul or spirit or consciousness. the seven faces of intention: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. and all seven are expressions of what i imagine that source to look like. the very fact that we exist is proof to me that the nature of that source is creative at its core. and there isn't a person reading this who does not have a gnawing sense inside that there's something they're here to do, something creative.
Kindness Reading Creativity
The arts are not a frill. the arts are a response to our individuality and our nature, and help to shape our identity. what is there that can transcend deep difference and stubborn divisions? the arts. they have a wonderful universality. art has the potential to unify. it can speak in many languages without a translator. the arts do not discriminate. the arts lift us up.
Art Carpe Diem Differences
Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. it takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. it takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. it takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.
Grief Sadness Grieving
I'm so tired of the left trying to divide us by race. one of the things i said today in my speech, we're not indian-americans, african-americans, irish-americans, rich americans, poor americans. we're all americans.

Similar Quotes
I may never be happy, but tonight i am content. nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. when one is so tired at the end of a day one must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on living, near the earth. at times like this i'd call myself a fool to ask for more.
Happiness Sweet Tired
Sometimes when a record's done, i'm satisfied and i won't listen back to it for a while 'cause i'm usually pretty tired of the songs. then i've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record.
Song Tired Play
Life goes before we know what it is. / one fool is enough in any house. / even god gets tired of too much hallelujah. / take it easy and live long as brothers.
Brother Tired Long
They mustn't know my despair, i can't let them see the wounds which they have caused, i couldn't bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. if i talk, everyone thinks i'm showing off; when i'm silent they think i'm ridiculous; rude if i answer, sly if i get a good idea, lazy if i'm tired, selfish if i eat a mouthful more than i should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc.
