Soren Kierkegaard

Thought for the Day

"Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life." -
Lord Byron

Kafka Quote

"He feels imprisoned on this earth, he feels constricted: the melancholy, the impotence, the sickness, the feverish fancies of the captive afflict him; no comfort can comfort him, since it is merely comfort, gentle head-splitting comfort glozing the brutal fact of imprisonment. But if he is asked what he actually wants he cannot reply, for--that is one of his strongest proofs--he has no conception of freedom." - Franz Kafka, in "He"

Quote For Easter

"We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine."

Dwight L. Moody

― Rod Serling

Yeah, guess he was right...

Giving Up

I am almost ready to give up on this formatting thing, at least I will for tonite.  I'd rather write some ideas, someday :).  But I will say goodnight with this profound quote of Woody Allen's:

“Eternity is a long time, especially towards the end.”

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

Henry David Thoreau

Quotes- Good, Bad and Ugly

Quotes- Good, Bad and Ugly

VERY UGLY:
The Philadelphia Eagles recently gave Michael Vick the Ed Block Courage Award.  That’s bad enough, but Vick’s comments are just baffling:  “I’ve overcome a lot more than probably any single individual can handle or bear…probably 95% of the …people in this world, because nobody had to endure what I’ve been through, situations I’ve been put in…I put myself in, and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.”
Is this courage award for acting like a fool?  He got his $1.6 million contract after getting out of prison.  He wasn’t in there long. Not long enough, in my mind.
And his “poor me” attitude is like the boy who murdered his parents and then begged the judge to have mercy on him since he was an orphan!  He is pathetic!
