There are two ways of resisting war: the legal way and the revolutionary way. The legal way involves the offer of alternatinve service not as a privilege for a few but as a right for all. The revolutionary view involves an uncompromising resistance, with a view to breaking the power of militarism in time of peace or the resources of the state in time of war.
~ Albert Einstein When asked what was the proper time for supper If you are a rich man, whenever you please and if you are a poor man, whenever you can.
~ Diogenes the Cynic I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.
~ William Shakespeare The man whose acquisitions stick is the man who is always achieving and advancing whilst his neighbors, spending most of their time in relearning what they once knew but have forgotten, simply hold their own.
~ William James Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery He has not been broken in two by time he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul, but his life.
~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.
~ Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to J. M. Cutts, October 26, 1863
I?ve seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say:?We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we?ll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
~ Martin Luther King Jr., A Christmas Sermon for Peace on Dec 24, 1967 The 6s, of course, was the worst time in the world to try to bring up a child. They were exposed to all these crazy things going on.
~ Nancy Davis Reagan
Waste no more time arguing what a god man should be. Be one.
~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations ? Book Ten There is so much time and so little to do; strike that, reverse it.
~ Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.
~ George Bernard Shaw When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.
~ Thomas Szasz, "The Second Sin"
