Visit Maria

A Blogger Mariaki has a number of quotes on her posts. I recommend you read her. I do not think she will mind if I restate some of them here. Obviously, she is an avid imbiber, and purveyor, of these inspirational thoughts. Value yourself, the only people who appreciate a doormat are people with... Sign in to see full entry.

Paralell Quotes

Just this weekend as I read, these three quotes had an impact on me. In my view they mirror similar thoughts of three respected men. M.K. Gandhi - Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul. Albert Einstein - We have learned that natural thinking does not suffice to solve the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE EXPECTATION CURVE

We may measure our success, or failure, as a ratio of our expectations of ourselves to the expectations that others have of us. If we have met the expectations that we have of ourselves and that is equal, or greater than one (1), of the expectations others have of us we may be deemed to be... Sign in to see full entry.

THE CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE

Immanuel Kant, that respected 18th century philosopher, in his Alternative Formulae for his Categorical Imperative advises, " Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means." What a... Sign in to see full entry.

MASTER OF HIS FATE?

Somewhere someone wrote that " Man is master of his fate." In my view, that is not true. How do I control what happens to me when I am caught in a rainstorm far distant from an occupied enclave? How does one control what happens when as a passenger the aircraft in which he is riding falls from the... Sign in to see full entry.

AN EXPERIENCE

I went to Heaven just a while ago. Guarding the entrance was Peter; Peter the 33rd. He directed me upstairs and warned me that the one who'd let me in would exceed my expectations. He opened the elevator and closed the door. As it stopped there appeared John; no, Johanna. She escorted me in and... Sign in to see full entry.

IRANIAN AT COLUMBIA

In New York, particularly, there is quite a furor over Columbia University inviting the President of Iran to speak. Perhaps, based on his prior utterances, this response may be understandable. Yet, it may be better that we hear what he says. One should be encouraged to display his reprehensible... Sign in to see full entry.

MY WISH

This is a holiday weekend for the Jews. I wish them well, wherever they are. In a land as diverse as ours, it is prudent that we appreciate ALL our neighbours. Stay well; walk good my friend. Sign in to see full entry.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS - PART 1

This post reproduces a leture which, in May 2002, I gave to a group of graduating High School students. I just stumbled upon this draft and thought I'll share it with you my fellow bloggers. The draft has been edited to make it more relevant to this audience. The substance is essentially unchanged.... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Quotes and sayings that should arouse intellectual curiosity. Quips that underlie all our lives and daily dealings. A quote, or saying, may be mine or any other author whose expression impresses. When it is mine, I will clearly state. If I can identify the author who penned what I say, I will give him, or her, credit. On occasions, when no one is identified, the assumption should be made that such quote is NOT mine.
