More From Benjamin Franklin

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.

I really want some meaning. it used to be easy to toss it off. now it's harder and harder. you have to navigate just to find something that has nourishment. it's the absence of nourishment. what do you do in place of nourishment? it's usually junk. either it's junk food or junk clothes or junk ideas.
Ideas Clothes Junk
Now look at me! take a good look! i was born and i knew i was alive and i knew what i wanted. what do you think is alive in me? why do you think i'm alive? because i have a stomach and eat and digest the food? because i breathe and work and produce more food to digest? or because i know what i want, and that something which knows how to want—isn't that life itself? and who—in this damned universe—who can tell me why i should live for anything but for that which i want?

If i were to give a summary of the tendency of our times, i would say, quantity. the multitude, the mass spirit, dominates everywhere, destroying quality. our entire life--production, politics, and education--rests on quantity, on numbers. the worker who once took pride in the thoroughness and quality of his work, has been replaced by brainless, incompetent automatons, who turn out enormous quantities of things, valueless to themselves, and generally injurious to the rest of mankind. thus quantity, instead of adding to life's comforts and peace, has merely increased man's burden.

You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

It is due to justice; due to humanity; due to truth; due to the sympathies of our nature; in fine, to our character as a people, both abroad and at home, that they should be considered, as much as possible, in the light of human beings, and not as mere property. as such, they are acted on by our laws, and have an interest in our laws. they may be considered as making a part, though a degraded part, of the families to which they belong.

I don't think it is worth explaining how a character's nose or chin looks. it is my feeling that readers will prefer to construct, little by little, their own character—the author will do well to entrust the reader with this part of the work.

Remarks such as 'great australian', 'larger than life' are sometimes used where they are not appropriate. but in the case of kerry packer both of those descriptions are entirely appropriate. he was a great australian, he was a larger than life character and in so many ways he left his mark on the australian community over a very long career in business, particularly in the media and also that other great passion of his, australian sport

It is not with a rush and a spring that we are to reach christ's character, and attain to perfect saintship; but step by step, foot by foot, hand over hand, we are slowly and often painfully to mount the ladder that rests on earth, and rises to heaven.

Women are always self-effacing and self-denying. there's a term that enrages me, and i always used to swear that i'd never play characters described that way. the term is "long-suffering."
