Be passionate and be involved in what you believe in, and do it as thoroughly and honestly and fearlessly as you can.
A woman set on anything will walk right through the moral crockery without wincing.
Goodness comes out of people who bask in the sun, as it does out of a sweet apple roasted before the fire.
The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value
The love of dirt is among the earliest of passions, as it is the latest. Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure. Fondness for the ground comes back to a man after he has run the round of pleasure and business, eaten dirt, and sown wild oats, drifted about the world, and taken the wind of all its moods. The love of digging in the ground (or of looking on while he pays another to dig) is as sure to come back to him, as he is sure, at last, to go under the ground, and stay there.
Perhaps nobody ever accomplishes all that he feels lies in him to do; but nearly every one who tries his power touches the walls of his being.
No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.
From 2008 to 2016 all the growth in the American economy, all the growth in national income, was earned just by the wealthiest 5% of the population. So they got all the growth. 95% of the population didn't grow. If you can get a flat tax or other lower tax, as Trump is suggesting, then this richest 5% will be able to keep even more money. That means that the 95% will be even poorer than they were before, relative to the very top.
I'll preach anywhere. If it's a round trip ticket to preach in hell, I'll take it-as long as it's round trip.
I am curious about grownups, not children.
Atrocities are human nature - they don't have political beliefs, color, creed or anything like that. They just happen, it's human.
