Few things build a person up like affirmation. according to webster’s new world dictionary, third college edition (simon and schuster, 1991), the word affirm comes from ad firmare, which means “to make firm.” so when you affirm people, you make firm within them the things you see about them. do that often enough, and the belief that solidifies within them will become stronger than the doubts they have about themselves.

If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. for nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event - and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.

I think what happens in a religious life is that we have those experiences of affirmation and that one starts to live a christian life or a jewish life or a muslim life or a buddhist life, by affirming that affirmation each day. each day you say 'yes' to that yes. so the life of being a christian for example, is always a life of double affirmation, that you each day say 'yes' to those counter-experiences of saying 'yes', even when you're not experiencing them at that time, you're remaining loyal to that experience.

A farce is that in poetry which grotesque (caricature) is in painting. the persons and actions of a farce are all unnatural, and the manners false, that is, inconsistent with the characters of mankind; and grotesque painting is the just resemblance of this.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.
