| 26820be | All emotions are, in essence, impulses to act, the instant plans for handling life that evolution has instilled in us. The very root of the word emotion is motere, the Latin verb "to move," plus the prefix "e-" to connote "move away," suggesting that a tendency to act is implicit in every emotion.

| 199ae37 | In many or most moments these minds are exquisitely coordinated; feelings are essential to thought, thought to feeling. But when passions surge the balance tips: it is the emotional mind that captures the upper hand, swamping the rational mind. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| cfb9ad5 | In The Nichomachean Ethics, Aristotle's philosophical enquiry into virtue, character, and the good life, his challenge is to manage our emotional life with intelligence. Our passions, when well exercised, have wisdom; they guide our thinking, our values, our survival. But they can easily go awry, and do so all too often. As Aristotle saw, the problem is not with emotionality, but with the appropriateness of emotion and its expression. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 61a997f | The neocortex is the seat of thought; it contains the centers that put together and comprehend what the senses perceive. It adds to a feeling what we think about it--and allows us to have feelings about ideas, art, symbols, imaginings | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 55fe9a0 | Limbic structures generate feelings of pleasure and sexual desire--the emotions that feed sexual passion. But the addition of the neocortex and its connections to the limbic system allowed for the mother-child bond that is the basis of the family unit and the long-term commitment to childrearing that makes human development possible. (Species that have no neocortex, such as reptiles, lack maternal affection; when their young hatch, the newb.. | Daniel Goleman | ||

| ece66e7 | The loyalties which existed in the Italian body politic were familial and local, perhaps regional, but not national. The chronic gap between north and south, which the industrialization of the former only exacerbated, and the lack of any great contact with the world outside the village community in so many parts of the peninsula were not helped by the hostility between the Italian government and the Catholic Church, which forbade its member.. | Paul Kennedy | ||

| 0840c0f | In "Flag Plot," the naval operations room, Anderson became irritated with McNamara's specific instructions on how to run the blockade. The admiral told McNamara that the Navy had been conducting blockades since the days of John Paul Jones and suggested that the defense secretary return to his office and let the Navy run the operation. McNamara rose from his chair and retorted that the operation was "not a blockade but a means of communicati.. | H.R. McMaster | ||

| 479b7d5 | If you allow all of your negative emotions to be expressed behind an angry facade, you will never know yourself. You will never know your potential because it will be blocked by anger. Anger solves very little, but keeps in a lot. You strike out at others when you have been hit. Anger needs to be released if appropriate, but more importantly, it needs to be resolved.

| 6370ae6 | The very fates seemed arrayed against the President's party. Death claimed eight Democratic Senators during the 65th Congress, thinning their already sparse majority. Perhaps the cruelest blow of all was the accidental shotgun killing of Wisconsin's Paul O. Husting on a duck-hunting trip in October 1917. Husting, the first Democrat sent to the Senate from Wisconsin in more than twenty years, had been elected in 1914; in the normal course of.. | David M. Kennedy | ||
| 9ad8e4f | The surname Kennedy means 'ugly-head'. [He topped a 2009 poll to be named the best-looking President in US history, but JFK's surname is actually the Old Irish epithet ceanneidigh, derived from ceann, meaning 'head', and eidigh, meaning 'ugly'.] | Paul Anthony Jones | ||
| 9721706 | Ike was so effective on the stump that Kennedy grew worried. "With every word he utters, I can feel the votes leaving me," he told his friend Paul "Red" Fay. "It's like standing on a mound of sand with the tide running out. If the election were held tomorrow, I'd win easily, but six days from now, it's up for grabs." | Bret Baier | ||
