More From Francois Rabelais

Self-esteem is reliance on one's power to think. it cannot be replaced by one's power to deceive. the self-confidence of a scientist and the self-confidence of a con man are not interchangeable states, and do not come from the same psychological universe. the success of a man who deals with reality augments his self-confidence. the success of a con man augments his panic.

Time, which gnaws and diminisheth all things else, augments and increaseth benefits; because a noble action of liberality, done to a man of reason, doth grow continually by his generous thinking of it and remembering it.

Babylon violated diminishes alexander; rome enslaved diminishes caesar; massacred jerusalem diminishes titus. tyranny follows the tyrant. woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form.

Many of the things that bring delight should not be owned. they are more enjoyed if another's, than if yours; the first day they give pleasure to the owner, but in all the rest to the others: what belongs to another rejoices doubly, because it is without the risk of going stale and with the satisfaction of freshness. . . the possession of things not only diminishes their enjoyment, but augments their annoyance, whether shared or not shared.
Giving Risk Delight
There's a tree that grows in brooklyn. some people call it the tree of heaven. no matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. it grows in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. it grows up out of cellar gratings. it is the only tree that grows out of cement. it grows lushly . . . survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. it would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.
Beautiful Growing Up Struggle
Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. this makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. you can't have a safer bet than that!

In order for an ideal to become a reality, there must be a person, a personality to translate it.

And you know, it's possible that the priest and the levite looked over that man on the ground and wondered if the robbers were still around. or it's possible that they felt that the man on the ground was merely faking. and he was acting like he had been robbed and hurt, in order to seize them over there, lure them there for quick and easy seizure. and so the first question that the levite asked was, "if i stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" but then the good samaritan came by. and he reversed the question: "if i do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?

What i am trying to teach is that when we keep the temple covenants we have made and when we live righteously in order to maintain the blessings promised by those ordinances, then come what may, we have no reason to worry or to feel despondent.

There needs to be an order of office, but in every single office that is presented in the scriptures there is the personal emphasis within that legal concept. in the church the elder is an office-bearer. but both the preaching elders and the ruling elders are "ministers," and the word "minister" is a personal relationship, it does not speak of dominance. there is to be order in the church, but the preaching elder or the ruling elder is to be a minister, with a loving personal relationship with those who are before him, even when they are wrong and need admonition.
