History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.
George Santayana

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana

All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible.

George Santayana

I have noticed some of that around here.

Some of my latest favorites:

Quote:
None can love freedom heartily but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license.

Who overcomes by force hath overcome but half his foe.

The mind is its own place, and in itself
can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.

Joking decides great things,
Stronger and better oft than earnest can.

Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end.

The first and wisest of them all professed
To know this only, that he nothing knew.


All from John Milton, 1608 - 1674

Words to live by. And after reviewing my post, I find myself at a loss for words.

"Music has charms to soothe a savage breast,
to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak’.”

“Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury, like a woman scorned.”

William Congreve

At first Nothing is;
Then Nothing transforms itself to be air
Sometimes the air transforms itself into water;
And the water becomes rain and falls to earth;
The again, the air through friction becomes fire.
So the Nothing and the air and the water
And the fire are really the same---
Upon different degrees.

Sun Ra
