I came down with a pretty bad cold (like usual, on a weekend) that had me laid-up most of yesterday. Luckily I’m feeling better today.

After getting Melissa situated at her art show yesterday, I watched some BBC America and then dozed off on the couch. I woke up to the feeling of paw-steps on my side. Apparently, Mei Mei thought I would make a good place to curl up for an afternoon nap.

Quotes

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

Blaise Pascal

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.

Robert Hutchins

We often hear that love, happiness, or personal contentment constitute the means of a good marriage and reasons to redefine marriage, but these things are the fruits of marriage, not the nature of marriage.

Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg

Memory is a net; one finds it full of fish when he takes it from the brook; but a dozen miles of water have run through it without sticking.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Do we not sometimes hear the thief contend that he is not guilty of sin, because he steals from the rich and the wealthy? . . . Such an excuse is as wretched as it is baneful.

Catholic Church

Nothing which makes us happy is an illusion.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In a stupid nation the man of genius becomes a god: everybody worships him and nobody does his will.

Bernard Shaw

Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.

Jesus Christ

The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a deal longer.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Early and provident fear is the mother of safety.

Edmund Burke

Jesus bluntly calls the evil person evil. If I am assailed, I am not to condone or justify aggression. Patient endurance of evil does not mean a recognition of its rights. That is sheer sentimentality, and Jesus will have nothing to do with it.

Robert Yates

The man who cannot believe his senses, and the man who cannot believe anything else, are both insane.

G. K. Chesterton

We may have equality of opportunity, but if the only opportunity is to be equal, it is not opportunity.

Margaret Thatcher

Since faith rests upon infallible truth, and since the contrary of a truth can never be demonstrated, it is clear that the arguments brought against faith cannot be demonstrations, but are difficulties that can be answered.

Thomas Aquinas

The most durable monument of human labor is that which recalls the wretchedness and nothingness of man.

Alexis de Tocqueville

The question is not what power the federal government ought to have, but what powers in fact have been given by the people. . . . The federal union is a government of delegated powers. It has only such as are expressly conferred upon it and such as are reasonably to be implied from those granted.

Owen Roberts

I pledge you that we will neither commit nor provoke aggression, that we shall neither flee nor invoke the threat of force, that we shall never negotiate out of fear, we shall never fear to negotiate.

John F. Kennedy
