More From Georg C. Lichtenberg

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Common sense is not something rigid and stationary, but is in continuous transformation, becoming enriched with scientific notions and philosophical opinions that have entered into common circulation. 'common sense' is the folklore of philosophy and always stands midway between folklore proper (folklore as it is normally understood) and the philosophy, science, and economics of the scientists. common sense creates the folklore of the future, a relatively rigidified phase of popular knowledge in a given time and place.

Stephen miller did one thing: he simply recited common sense. this is a common sense immigration bill. if there was ever a piece of common sense legislation, this is it. in this case, what stephen miller did was nothing more than common sense, and yet it was interpreted - it went right over their heads, the white house press corps, not just jim acosta and glenn thrush. it went over all of their heads because they didn't understand what he was talking about, either because of the fog of hatred they have for donald trump and his administration, or they are just ignorant.

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

The quarrels of theologians and philosophers have not been about religion, but about philosophy; and philosophers not unfrequently seem to entertain the same feeling toward theologians that sportsmen cherish toward poachers.
Philosophy Feelings Poachers
A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.

I wept like a child. it was not because i was overcome at having survived my ordeal, though i was. nor was it the presence of my brothers and sisters, though that too was very moving. i was weeping because ....fill in the blank with whatever/whoever helped you survive... had left me so unceremoniously.

I felt very maternal around eight months. and i thought i couldn't become any more until i saw the baby... but it happened during my labor because i had a very strong connection with my child. i felt like when i was having contractions, i envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. and i imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so i couldn't think about my own pain... we were talking. i know it sounds crazy, but i felt a communication.

Parents have a right to expect that their efforts at home won't be undone each day in the school cafeteria or in the vending machine in the hallway. ...parents have a right to expect that their kids will be served fresh, healthy food that meets high nutritional standards.
