Maxwell has written over forty books (mostly on leadership), including The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership (with Zig Ziglar) and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader: Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow, among others. His books have sold over seven million copies, with several on the New York Times Best Seller's List and translations in over fifty languages.[1]

Quotes by w:John C. Maxwell

"Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do."

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."

"A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them."

"Educators take something simple and make it complicated. Communicators take something complicated and make it simple."

"Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today."

"If you're lying, you're lying."

"Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them. "

"Leadership is influence."

"Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best."

"People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision."

"Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do."

"Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up."

"The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up."

"The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one. "

"The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it."

"We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice."

Thomas J. Cairney edit

'Life should be deemed as a series of tests; each separated by a period of reflection and revision for the next. When one makes a wrong judgement, a simple mistake, they may feel as though they have failed either in that respected area of life or failed life completely. However what many do not realise is that life is a series of tests, and you can not dwell on the last test forever as sure enough the next one will arrive. But most importantly, life is a series of tests with unlimited re-sits, each of which you can learn from'- Thomas J. Cairney 20th February 2007

Altough he may think it delicious at first, what if he eats five, ten or twenty oranges a day? What if he does so every day? He will sureley get tired of them, won´t he?

Ramon Andres Quevedo edit

Good afternoon,

A former teacher of mine, Ramon A. Qeuevedo, that worked at Bebensee Elementary in Arlington, TX would say, "Of course you don't know it, it is called learning. if you knew it, it would be called review.". or "of course you don't know it, it is called learning. if you already knew it, it would be called review." I see that one version of this quote is listed in Quotepark.com and the quote is attributed to him. What can I do to include the quote here?

I believe he is now a Mathematics Teacher at Nichols Junior High School in Arlington, Texas.

Michael Scott: The most sacred thing I do is care... Today I am in charge of picking a great new healthcare plan. Right? That's what this is all about. Does that make me their doctor? Um, yes. Like a specialist.

Logical view of the godhead edit

What has been lacking in the world since the fall of the ancient world is a logical view of

the godhead. To the Greek and Roman mind the gods were utilitarian; that is they

offered convenient place to appreciate human archetypes. Sin and redemption from sin

had nothing to do with the gods. The classic Greek and Roman gods did not offer recompense in life

nor a heavenly afterlife as reward. Rather morality was determined by your service to humanity whether 

it was in the form of philosophy, science, art, architecture, engineering, leadership, or conquest.

In this way humanity could live up to great potential instead of wasting their energy on worship, and false promises

== World History ==Church Degrades Woman's Position

For almost a thousand years after the fall of Rome the Catholic Church’s control of

society and law guaranteed that woman’s position was degraded to that of a second class

citizen, far below the ancient Roman standard. Every literary reference depicts women as

inferior, unworthy of inheritance, foolish, lustful and sinful. The Church ordained wife beating

and encouraged total obedience to fathers and husbands. Women generally could not own land, join a guild,
nor earn money like a man. Despite all this, a series of events unfolded, the crusades, rebirth of classical ideas,
the printing press, the Reformation, and the Renaissance, all of which began to move womankind forward.

John R. Gregg, Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time Religion and Culture, Vol 1.

World History: Valentien's Day edit

The Roman Lupercalia festival of the New Year became an orgiastic carnival. A lottery

ceremony ensued where men chose their sexual partners by choosing small bits of paper

naming each woman present. Later the Christians, trying to incorporate and tame this

sexual festival substituted the mythical saint Valentine; and ‘the cards of lust’ evolved

into the valentine cards we exchange today.

John R. Gregg, From Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time Religion and Culture

World History: Early Christianity debases women edit

The few books the early Christian church chose for the New Testament ignored women’s roles in the life of Jesus

and in the early Church. After the fall of Rome, Church control of society and law saw to it that woman’s position
was degraded to that of second-class citizen. Every early reference speaks of women as inferior, unworthy of inheritance,
foolish, lustful, and sinful. Wife beating was encouraged, and total obedience to fathers and husbands was ordained.
Women generally could not own land, join a guild, inherit property, hold public office, or earn money like a man.
A wife was ordered to submit to sex with her husband whenever he wished even if he had leprosy.
Both husband and wife were ordered to continue marital relations, even though the Church disliked it
because the prelates feared the primal urge to evil would lead to worse kinds of sex.

John R. Gregg, From: Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time, Religion and Culture. Vol.1.

World History Do Women have Souls? edit

The early Church continued to degrade woman to her “proper status”. Following the Jewish Talmud and the writings of the early Catholic fathers, such as Augustine, they rescinded the Roman rights of women,

which were not generous anyway. The early Catholic Church deliberately reduced women to a chattel who must submit
meekly to their husbands.  Every good Christian woman should hide her charms, veil herself and abjure cosmetics, 

for every attractive woman was a threat to male salvation. The Council of Macon in 585 CE spent weeks debating whether women could be classified as members of the human race and even whether Christ died for women, who many doubted had souls. JohnR. Gregg, From: Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time, Religion and Culture. vol 1.

World History: Concepts of women through the ages edit

Jewish and biblical stories of women are ancient Semitic archetypes which have had a profound impact 
on the way women have been viewed down through the centuries. The compilers and writers of the Jewish holy books 
give two polarized concepts of woman: the good, the chaste, the mother, contrasting sharply with the seductress, the harlot, the deceiver. 
Polarized concepts of woman as ”virgin", mother or whore” will continue through Christianity and Islam and reverberate into the 21st century,
informing ways men view women and even ways women view themselves. Women are viewed narrowly as either evil or good. Woman is no longer the ancient holy creator of life,
the sustainer, the transformer; rather she is viewed as one dimensional good or bad. This leads to a limiting view of woman and reduces her.
It is then easy for the patriarchy to diminish her to a chattel. These concepts have led to deep psychological scars on both men and women because
neither is able to operate without guilt. For instance, even the title seductress, has dual associations. Is she to be highly desired as a partner
or reviled as immoral? In the West the popularity of the “Victoria Secret” lingerie store demonstrates that a “good girl” cam purchase “bad panties”.
This is because concepts like these are inured in our culture, whether the good girl and her man can both be happy with themselves using the purchase
is a totally different question. John R. Gregg, From: Sex, The Illustrated History, Through Time, Religion and Culture, Vol.1.

World History: Julius Caesar on Masturbation edit

The great Julius Caesar, often on the military trail, without female companionship says of masturbation:


“To the lonely it is company; to the forsaken it is a friend;
to the aged and to the impotent it is a benefactor. 

They that are penniless are yet rich,

in that they still have this majestic diversion"  

From: John R. Gregg's Sex, The Illustrated History, Through Time, Religion and Culture, vol.1.

World History: Creating the Dark Ages edit

"St" Augustine, the greatest early Christian “thinker” said: “This is the disease

of curiosity… It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets of nature, those

secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man

should not wish to learn.” With these words, Augustine set the spirit and tone for the Dark Ages to come.

John R. Gregg, From: Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time, Religion and Culture. Vol.1.

World History: The Phallus of Creation becomes corruption edit

The early Christian Church attacked the ancient phallus of creation, worshiped for millennia.

To them it became the organ of uncontrollable lust be suppressed in all of Europe.
"St" Augustine’s proclamations would proliferate all over Europe, promoting a self-loathing expanding like a plague across the continent.
Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant religions all inherited this lasting legacy for Western culture,
enduring even after the partial eclipse of Catholic Church ideology in the Renaissance.

John R. Gregg, From: Sex, The Illustrated History, Vol.1.

World History::Christian shift from real life to a promised fairy tale. edit

When the early Christian Church began touting the spirit as the only thing of importance,

a catastrophic shift occurred. In all ancient cultures, woman was linked with birth, sexuality,

and the sacredness of all life. As Mother Goddess, she was revered as life-giver. For ancient peoples, except the Egyptians, the spirit world and afterlife were dim unattractive places.

It was life on earth that mattered. Christianity changed this by offering a fairy story of a heaven
that was much better than life on earth. The Church shifted focus from the material world to an imaginary one.
In this view the Great Mother became a menacing demoness. Womankind is now characterized as untrustworthy, a temptress of

the flesh: a force to be feared, and inextricably linked to evil. John R. Gregg, From: Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time, Religion and Culture.Vol.1.

World History: Was Mary Magdaline Christ's successor? edit

The Gnostic Gospel of Philip actually describes Mary Magdalene as Jesus’ sexual partner. It also associates Mary Magdalene with Sophia, “holy wisdom”. This rejected gospel lists five initiatory rite; Baptism, Chrism, (anointing) Eucharist, Redemption, and the highest of all, the “Bridal Chamber “. All Gnostics, not only Jesus, became “Christs” when they were anointed. The section describing the Bridal Chamber rite has been lost. The gospel does describe Mary Magdalene as “the Woman Who Knows All “. It states that he who is anointed possesses the “All’. It also says “Understand what great power undefiled sexual intercourse possesses”. Is this an allusion to a type of Tantric rite practiced by Jesus and the Gnostics? Could Mary Magdalene really have been priestess of a Goddess cult, initiating Jesus in mysteries? Even in the traditional gospels the twelve male disciples are portrayed as rather “dim bulbs” who frequently “knew not what he meant”. Could an aware Christ really have chosen such an ignorant and uncomprehending group of men to begin a universal movement? Very early in Christianity there was a conflict between Mary Magdalene as leader and interpreter of the new sect and the Peter fraction that was jealous of Mary’s influence. Scholars of the early Church had to choose between Mary and the equalization of women and Peter and the continued degradation of women. Decisively they chose to continue Jewish and Greco-Roman attitudes toward women as sinful and valued no higher than property. Both these cultures had traditionally kept women in a subservient position and the new teachings allowed them to continue doing so. By 360 CE they had succeeded in either proscribing or destroying all books indicating that Mary Magdalene had been Christ’s closest follower-partner-chosen leader. They even made sure to diminish her to the position of prostitute, reducing her to a person of no import whatsoever. John R. Gregg, From Sex, The Illustrated History; Through Time, Religion and Culture, Vol.1.

We then confront this prognosis, whenever possible, with the results of experimental or other observations. Agreement with them is taken as corroboration of the hypothesis, though not as final proof; clear disagreement is considered as refutation or falsification. "

There is a quote about when participating in a competitive bidding process that goes something like "The losers are wondering somethingorother, and the winner is wondering what he calculated wrong".

I would have created a stub, but this seems to vague to warrant it yet. -- matt at lackof org 2006/01/23

What about "The winners are planning their future, the losers are wondering about theirs." Found via Google Books Jodi.a.schneider 20:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have heard something like this before, but can't quite place it either. The basic idea is that the winning bidder will be the bidder who bids the lowest (i.e., will do the work for the least amount of money). If the winning bidder is just slightly below the next losing bidder, then they have calculated well, but if they are far below the next losing bidder, then they could have bid higher than they did and still won the contract. In that case, what the losing bidder is left wondering is which of the costs going into their bid they underestimated, to be able to charge that much less.

Thomas Jefferson edit

Sometimes It is Said that Man Connot be Trusted With the Government of Himself. Can He Then Be Trusted With the Government of Others?

The Spirit of Resistance to Government is So Valuable on Certain Occasions, That I Wish It to be Always Kept Alive.

When the Government Fears the People, There is Liberty; When the People Fear the Government, There is Tyranny

The policy of the American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

The general government will tend to monarchy, which will fortify itself from day to day, instead of working its own cures.

Cherish therefore the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress, and Assemblies, judges and governors shall all become wolves....

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. -- Bill for the More General diffusion of Knowledge (1778).

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. --- In "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. -- To Peter Carr, 1785. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, (Memorial Edition) Lipscomb and Bergh, editors.

We established however some, although not all its [self-government] important principles . The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed. --- Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. Memorial Edition 16:45, Lipscomb and Bergh, editors.

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security. -- Eighth Annual Message, November 8, 1808

Those who don't read the newspapers are better off than those who do insofar as those who know nothing are better off than those whose heads are filled with half-truths and lies.

One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them. --- Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1796. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, (Memorial Edition) Lipscomb and Bergh

Patrick Henry edit

"Power is the great evil with which we are contending. We have divided power between three branches of government and erected checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. However, where is the check on the power of the judiciary? If we fail to check the power of the judiciary, I predict that we will eventually live under judicial tyranny." - Patrick Henry

the people have a right to keep and bear arms. -- Patrick Henry and George Mason, Elliot, Debates at 185.

Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? -- Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836

The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun. -- Patrick Henry, 3 Elliot, Debates at 386.

O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone... Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation... inflicted by those who had no power at all? -- Patrick Henry, Elliot p. 3:50-53, in Virginia Ratifying Convention

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined. -- Patrick Henry, during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution (1788)

Have we the means of resisting disciplined armies, when our only defense, the militia, is put in the hands of Congress? Of what service would militia be to you when, most probably, you will not have a single musket in the state? For, as arms are to be provided by Congress, they may or may not provide them. -- Patrick Henry, 3 Elliot Debates at 48

Others edit

If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government --and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. -- Edward Abbey in Abbey's Road, p.39 (Plume, 1979)

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen! - Samuel Adams

If we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom. - Samuel Adams

All that is essential for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. -- Edmund Burke

What Good Fortune It is For Governments That People Do Not Think - Adolf Hitler

Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty...of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. John Jay, First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. -- Abraham Lincoln

No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation. -- General Douglas MacArthur

If we will not be governed by God, then we will be ruled by tyrants. - William Penn

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. -- Voltaire, 1764

Without either the first or second amendment, we would have no liberty; the first allows us to find out what's happening, the second allows us to do something about it! The second will be taken away first, followed by the first and then the rest of our freedoms. -- Andrew Ford

On April 18, 1775 John Adams and John Hancock were at the home of Rev. Jonas Clarke, a Lexington pastor and militia leader. That same night Paul Revere arrived to warn them of the approaching Redcoats. The next morning British Major Pitcairn shouted to an assembled regiment of Minutemen; "Disperse, ye villains, lay down your arms in the name of George the Sovereign King of England." The immediate response of Rev. Jonas Clarke or one of his company was: "We recognize no Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus." The motto of the American Revolution became “No King but King Jesus”

This country belongs to the people and whenever they shall grow weary of their government they can exercise their constitutional right to amend it, or revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it. -- Abraham Lincoln

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege. -- Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, 560 (1878)

The militia is a voluntary force not associated or under the control of the States except when called out; [ when called into actual service] a permanent or long standing force would be entirely different in make-up and call. -- Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Paper No. 28

I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials. -- George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 425-426.

An instance within the memory of some of this house will show us how our militia may be destroyed. Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliment was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that is was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia. -- George Mason at the Virginia Ratification Convention, June 14, 1788

Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it. -- Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.

A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms. -- Richard Henry Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Farmer (1788) at 169.

The militia is the natural defense of a free country against foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. The right of citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of liberties of the republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the U.S., Book III at 746 (1833)

What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins. -- Representative Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789

The power of the sword, say the minority of Pennsylvania, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for the powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it ever will remain, in the hands of the people. -- Tench Coxe in the Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.

  • The quote goes something like "There is a god-sized hole in man's psyche." It's almost always attributed to Sartre, but I can't find anywhere that says where he said it or wrote it, or what the original french was.

A first attempt at an answer: Regarding the attribution of the “God-sized hole” as coming from Sartre. After a non-exhaustive search in both English and French, I found a couple of plausible sources that make the attribution problematic. Here are my quick (and most definitely not authoritative) translations, followed by the original texts pasted from the internet sources. I

On Wikipedia (French) (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre)

«Man is defined by consciousness [conscience] (the for-self that is opposed to the in-self). For all consciousness is the consciousness of something (the idea of intentionality, taken up from Husserl). Man is therefore fundamentally open to the world, “incomplete,” “turned towards,” existing [existent] (projected outside the self): there is in him a nothingness, a “hole in the being” susceptible to receiving objects from the world. Consciousness is that which never coincides with oneself, that which is the power of [making]-nothingness [nihilism?] (that is to say negation, that is to say action) thanks to the imagination (which can think that which does not exist). Consciousness makes the project possible.»

«I asked myself every minute what I could be in the eyes of God. At present, I do not know the answer. God does not see me, God does not hear me, God does not know me. You see that emptiness [space, vacuum] above our heads? This is God again. Silence is God. Absence is God. God is the solitude of men. There was only me: I alone have decided [about] Evil; alone I invented Good. It is I who have cheated, I who have performed miracles, it is I who accuses [condemns] myself today, I alone who can absolve myself; myself, man. If God exists, man is nothingness.» (purportedly from Le diable et le bon Dieu (1951), Act III, p. 228)

Le diable et le bon Dieu (1951) Je me demandais à chaque minute ce que je pouvais être aux yeux de Dieu. A présent je connais la réponse: rien. Dieu ne me voit pas, Dieu ne m'entend pas, Dieu ne me connaît pas. Tu vois ce vide au-dessus de nos têtes ? C'est Dieu. Tu vois cette brèche dans la porte? C'est Dieu. Tu vois ce trou dans la terre ? C'est Dieu encore. Le silence c'est Dieu. L'absence c'est Dieu. Dieu c'est la solitude des hommes. Il n'y avait que moi: J'ai décidé seul du Mal; seul, j'ai inventé le Bien. C'est moi qui ai triché, moi qui ai fait des miracles, c'est moi qui m'accuse aujourd'hui, moi seul peut m'absoudre; moi, l'homme. Si Dieu existe, l'homme est néant; ... (Acte III p.228) http://yves.frisch.free.fr/lfic.php?fic=sartre

0. L'Homme est défini par la conscience (le pour-soi qui s'oppose à l'en-soi). Or toute conscience est conscience de quelque chose (idée d'intentionnalité reprise de Husserl). L'Homme est donc fondamentalement ouvert sur le monde, « incomplet », « tourné vers », existant (projeté hors de soi) : il y a en lui un néant, un « trou dans l'être » susceptible de recevoir les objets du monde. La conscience est ce qui ne coïncide jamais avec soi-même, ce qui est puissance de néantisation (c'est-à-dire de négation, c'est-à-dire d'action) grâce à l'imagination (elle peut penser ce qui n'est pas). La conscience rend donc le projet possible. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre

It comes, in fact, from Pascal: "Qu'est-ce donc que nous crie cette avidité et cette impuissance sinon qu'il y a eu autrefois dans l'homme un véritable bonheur, dont il ne lui reste maintenant que la marque et la trace toute vide et qu'il essaye inutilement de remplir de tout ce qui l'environne, recherchant des choses absentes le secours qu'il n'obtient pas des présentes, mais qui en sont toutes incapables parce que ce gouffre infini ne peut être rempli que par un objet infini et immuable, c'est-à-dire que par Dieu même."

Gethsemane Exchange edit

The book of Mark (New Testament), talk about "certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young man laid hold on him: and he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked"(Mr.14.51-52).

Hours before, the Last Supper was celebrated with one of the disciples leaning on Jesus bosom "whom Jesus loved" (Jn.13.23).

In Da Vinci's The Last Supper,"the figure to the left of Christ, also wearing blue and red, is ussually identified as John the Apostle,...who is identified to be the disciple whom Jesus loved seated next to Jesus and who was customarily depicted...as a beardless, often "effeminate" youth with very long hair...Some speculetors, have entertained the idea that John was depected in this way to hint that he was Mary Magda- lene...".

In the book of John, Jesus "saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom Jesus loved" and said "unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!. Then saith he to the disciple, behold thy mother!"(Jn.19.26-27).Three mysteries apparently not related! But what if Jesus delivered himself in the garden of Gethsemanee in exchange for the beloved disciple (with the help of Judas who's task would be to lead the herodian guards along with the pharisees, the kidnappers of John? That would explain the presence of this strange character in this not untipically, not unusual "scenario". It could also explain why Jesus was the only "arrested one" at that time as "nego- tiated"! (given the assumption). It could also explain the possible absence of the "beloved disciple" from the Last Supper being substituted by Mary Magdalene.

Finally, it could give us a hint of Jesus motive for his final words adressed to "his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved"(Jn.19.26) when he said unto them: "Woman, behold thy (recovered) son!... and son, "Behold thy mother"

Heard in 12-step meetings:

Attitude of gratitude

Willingness to get well

I came, I came to, I came to believe

Absolute honesty

If you want to swim the English Channel don’t stop swimming

3 willings ~ I have to be willing, to be willing, to be wiling

Quit arguing & fighting

You were born precious; you’ll never be better you’ll never be worse

Alcohol worked until it didn’t

Who moved my cheese

The meeting you need is the one you don’t want to attend

This ain’t go’n away overnight

I pray that I can get my troubles behind me & that they will become smaller

Keep showing up

Reliance not defiance

Stand with fist

Chop wood carry water

I must have willingness to be willing

Be The Gift

Trust God, Clean House, Help Others

Pointing to one’s head: I can’t fix this with this

Don’t say in your head: “fuck—you”

Move your foot out of the road

Alcohol made me do weird things

A drink picks up a drink

Everything has a learning demission to it

Acceptance is an inside job

Miracles not magic

When you turn it over bring your shovel

Uncover Discover Discard

Change your playmates & playpens

Acting as if

Behaviors first, feelings will follow

Embrace the Suck

Don’t do the next wrong thing

Bring love to the situation
