| 07a87f3 | The daily life of the Christian can be summed up in one word: receive. | Watchman Nee | ||
| b449174 | But Christianity is a queer business! If at the outset we try to do anything, we get nothing; if we seek to attain something, we miss everything. For Christianity begins not with a big DO, but with a big DONE. | Watchman Nee | ||
| 2a6a60a | The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him. 1 Corinthians 2:14 It has pleased God to say many things which leave room for misunderstanding, and not to explain them. Often in the Bible there seem to be conflicting statements or statements that seem to violate the known facts of life, and it has pleased Him to leave them there. There are many scriptures we cannot clearly explain. Had we be.. | Watchman Nee | ||
| 5650798 | Brothers, if God brings us to the point of seeing that everything in God's work depends upon His blessing, it will bring about a basic change in our labor for God. We would not consider how many people, how much money, or how much bread we have. We would say we do not have enough, but the blessing is sufficient. The blessing meets the need that we cannot meet. Although we cannot measure up to the size of the need, the blessing is greate.. | Watchman Nee | ||
| fe03726 | God and I have decided to ignore each other. It's for the best. | ignore | Robert Ferrigno | |
| e85ff89 | Young warriors are always eager for battle. Old warriors know better. | old warrior young | Robert Ferrigno | |
| 85f3be1 | Most preachers say the nature of God is unknowable, but I'm certain of one thing at least. God almighty has a sense of humor. | preacher sense-of-humor | Robert Ferrigno | |
| 63c7c00 | anger, in and of itself, is a good thing, within reason, but it will be your greatest enemy if you don't learn to control it! | Ali Vali | ||
| 8175656 | those who want to beat you down can't succeed unless you give them help! | Ali Vali | ||
| 572fe5b | At the fourth, the fractal (or viral, or radiant) stage of value, there is no point of reference at all, and value radiates in all directions, occupying all interstices, without reference to anything whatsoever, by virtue of pure contiguity. At the fractal stage there is no longer any equivalence, whether natural or general. Properly speaking there is now no law of value, merely a sort of epidemic of value, a sort of general metastasis of v.. | progress science | Jean Baudrillard | |
| 92c1630 | A thing which has lost its idea is like the man who has lost his shadow, and it must either fall under the sway of madness or perish. | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| d3afe94 | We find the same situation in the economy. On the one hand, the battered remnants of production and the real economy; on the other, the circulation of gigantic amounts of virtual capital. But the two are so disconnected that the misfortunes which beset that capital - stock market crashes and other financial debacles - do not bring about the collapse of real economies any more. It is the same in the political sphere: scandals, corruption and.. | philosophy politics | Jean Baudrillard | |
| 5494909 | The information superhighways will have the same effect as our present superhighways or motorways. They will cancel out the landscape, lay waste to the territory and abolish real distances. What is merely physical and geographical in the case of our motorways will assume its full dimensions in the electronic field with the abolition of mental distances and the absolute shrinkage of time. All short circuits (and the establishment of this pla.. | social-media technology the-internet | Jean Baudrillard | |
| f6cdf4e | The clones are already there; the virtual beings are already there. We are all replicants! We are so in the sense that, as in Blade Runner, it is already almost impossible to distinguish properly human behaviour from its projection on the screen, from its double in the image and its computerized prostheses. | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| f0b39bc | Dussellik rezervine bir anlam kazandiran seyle, gerceklik katsayisi arasinda belli bir oranti vardir. Dusselligin ulasip, icinde dolanabilecegi bakir bir alan kalmadigi ve harita tum cografi alanlari belirlediginde, gerceklik ilkesi de ortadan kaybolmaktadir. Gercekligin sinirlari sonsuzluga cekilince, bu, sinirlari belli bir evrende ic uyum anlamina gelen gerceklik ilkesinin kanama yapmasina neden olur... | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| 4f14418 | In symbolic exchange, of which the gift is our most proximate illustration, the object is not an object: it is inseparable from the concrete relation in which it is exchanged, the transferential pact that it seals between two persons: it is thus not independent as such. It has, properly speaking, neither use value nor (economic) exchange value. The object given has symbolic exchange value. | gifts symbolic-exchange | Jean Baudrillard | |
| 68dd5dd | To dissimulate is to pretend not to have what one has. To simulate is to feign to have what one doesn't have. | having reality simulation | Jean Baudrillard | |
| 09b5d10 | Our sentimentality toward animals is a sure sign of the disdain in which we hold them. Sentimentality is nothing but the infinitely degraded form of bestiality, the racist commiseration. | sentimentality | Jean Baudrillard | |
| 8aa736e | We are fascinated by Ramses as Renaissance Christians were by the American Indians, those (human?) beings who had never known the word of Christ. | christ god indians ramses renaissance | Jean Baudrillard | |
| ab56ed9 | The transition from signs that dissimulate something to signs that dissimulate that there is nothing marks a decisive turning point. | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| 1f71bf8 | The strategy of power has long seemed founded on the apathy of the masses. The more passive they were, the more secure it was. But this logic is only characteristic of the bureaucratic and centralist phase of power. And it is this which today turns against it: the inertia it has fostered becomes the sign of its death. | Jean Baudrillard | ||
| 05498b2 | Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night; God said, Let Newton be, and all was light. | T.Z. Lavine | ||
| 37ef041 | Then one night he brought home a beautiful red-haired woman and took her into our bed with me. She was a high-class call girl employed by the well-known Madame Claude. It never occurred to me to object. I took my cues from him and threw myself into the threesome with the skill and enthusiasm of the actress that I am. If this was what he wanted, this was what I would give him--in spades. As feminist poet Robin Morgan wrote in Saturday's Chil.. | Jane Fonda | ||
| 645c5ff | Once, I remember, Father Abbot said that our purpose is justice, and with God lies the privilege of mercy. But even God, when he intends mercy, needs tools to his hand. | god justice mercy | Ellis Peters | |
| 26f7058 | And who knows, thought Cadfael, which is in the right, the young man who sees the best in all, and trusts all, or the old one who suspects all until he has probed them through and through? The one may stumble into a snare now and then, but at least enjoy sunshine along the way, between falls. The other may never miss his footing, but seldom experience joy. Better find a way somewhere between! | joy trust youth | Ellis Peters | |
| 7fd8690 | I have been about the world long enough to know that God's plans for us, however infallibly good, may not take the form that we expect and demand. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 6ba5a19 | God, nevertheless, required a little help from men, and what he mostly got was hindrance. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 6b0f25f | The best way to get the sweet out of children and escape the bitter is to have them by proxy. | Ellis Peters | ||
| f55bbd4 | When I want to hear my echo," said Brother Cadfael, "I will at least speak first." | Ellis Peters | ||
| a0339d6 | Say your prayers, think quietly what you should do, do it, and sleep. There is no man living, neither king nor emperor, can do more or better, or trust in a better harvest. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 2bd3669 | It is a time for quietness and prayer. Death is present with us every day of our lives, it behooves us to take note of its nearness, not as a threat, but as our common experience on the way to grace. There is no more to be said. It is better to accept the will of God, and be silent. | Ellis Peters | ||
| e382b14 | Here I begin to know that blessedness is what can be snatched out the passing day and put away to think of afterwards. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 9fbf46d | What is done matters, but what is yet to do matters far more." Cadfael, Pg. 255" | do-good | Ellis Peters | |
| ce6d826 | I even used the excuse when I was alone, as if I were somehow fooling myself with the ruse. You know your life is going off the rails when you tell yourself the lie you've created for everyone else, and you believe it. | David Ellis | ||
| b9f71c5 | Science is skeptical that the universe includes "deservingness" and "undeservingness" and that it deifies people (and things) for their "good" acts or damns them for their "bad" behavior. It does not have any absolute, universal standard of "good" and "bad" behavior and assumes that if any group sees certain deeds as "good" it will tend to (but doesn't have to) reward those who act that way and will often (but not always) penalize those who.. | Albert Ellis | ||
| 4c6ee9b | Because when you don't perform remarkably well the next time, back to slobhood you will go! And even when you do perform well, you will be anxious about not doing so next time. So you had better like your fine performance--but not deify yourself for doing it. | Albert Ellis | ||
| 97ad9c2 | Albert Ellis: "The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour". Apart" | Marcus Tomlinson | ||
| 63ce455 | Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA) instead of Conditional Self-Esteem (CSE). You rate and evaluate your thoughts, feelings, and actions in relation to your main Goals of remaining alive and reasonably happy to see whether they aid these Goals. When they aid them, you rate that as "good" or "effective," and when they sabotage your Goals you rate that as "bad" or "ineffective." But you always--yes, always--accept and respect yourself, your p.. | Albert Ellis | ||
| b2a8dda | The next time you feel angry, try to become aware of some of the physical sensations and changes that are occurring in your body. Remember that physical reactions accompanying your chronic anger can lead to damage, illness, and possibly premature death. | Albert Ellis | ||
