The major lesson tiggers need to learn is that if they don't control their impulses, their impulses will control them. no matter how much they do, tiggers are never satisfied because they don't know the feeling of accomplishment that eventually comes when one persistently applies one's will to the attaining of non-immediately-reachable goals.

The Major Lesson Tiggers Need To Learn

Benjamin Hoff

The major lesson tiggers need to learn is that if they don't control their impulses, their impulses will control them. no matter how much they do, tiggers are never satisfied because they don't know the feeling of accomplishment that eventually comes when one persistently applies one's will to the attaining of non-immediately-reachable goals.

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

I was never satisfied if i didn't win a major. i mean, not that year or any major i played, i wasn't satisfied unless i won it. but that's what our goals are. i'm sure that these guys' goals are the same as mine. they want to win every time they play. if you don't win, then you're not happy, obviously.

Knowing how to do a job is the accomplishment of labor - showing others is the accomplishment of the teacher - making sure the work is done by others is the accomplishment of the manager - inspiring others to do better work is the accomplishment of the leader.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.

Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. but what is more important than the definition is the field of its application. the important point here is this: tolerance applies only to persons but never to truth. intolerance applies only to truth but never to persons. tolerance applies to the erring; intolerance to the error.

I think that changing stereotypes and attitudes, it takes time. as we progress and we have more women astronauts and more women in construction sites and everything else, then we're making progress. discrimination is deeply embedded in our community, but we do have the tools to combat it.

Regardless of what one's attitude towards prohibition may be, temperance is something against which, at a time of war, no reasonable protest can be made.

You may be sitting around waiting for god to change your circumstances. then you’re going to be happy, then your’re going to have a good attitude, then you’re going to give god praise. but god is waiting on you to get up on the inside. when you do your part, he’ll begin to change things and work supernaturally in your life.
