I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep… Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go. – May Sarton	added by JokerGem 2 days ago
In the kingdom of self love, I reign as an unapologetic black king, Adorned in the aesthetics of my truth. Let them speak, let them roar: their insults are mere echoes in the grandeur of my existence. What they say will fade, for i am the architect of my own narrative, where confidence is my crown, and acceptance is my throne. There is nothing they can do to dim the brilliance of my royal spirit – Christen Kuikoua	added by ChristenKuikouafans 1 month ago
Far from trying to rig the system, I have spent decades opposing cronyism and all political favors, including mandates, subsidies and protective tariffs -- even when we benefit from them. I believe that cronyism is nothing more than welfare for the rich and powerful, and should be abolished. – Charles Koch	added by Normando 1 month ago
I have learned that my true wealth lies not in the abundance of my possessions, but in the richness of my character. I would never reveal my financial status to others, for my fortune is solely my own concern. By choosing to let people assume I possess nothing, I unveil the true nature of those around me, discovering genuine individuals who value my essence rather than my material worth. – Yvonne Padmos	added by Freelancer 2 months ago
Sometimes in life, you become aware that you have more money than friends. But let me tell you, it's not about the numbers or material possessions. True wealth lies in the genuine connections we cherish, the kind hearts that surround us, and the loyal souls that stand by our side through thick and thin. So, do not let the illusion of wealth deceive you, for those who have nothing but genuine love and support are richer than any fortune in the world. It is during testing times, when you see the true colors of those around you, and that is where your true wealth truly lies. – Yvonne Padmos	added by Freelancer 2 months ago
I also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well. – George Bernard Shaw	added by Normando 3 months ago
Contact with reality is not an all-or-nothing condition. – Alexander Lowen	added by JokerGem 3 months ago
Now the truth of the matter is, there is nothing wrong with this country. Please. The message I want to leave with you is that there's nothing wrong with this country that the proper leadership won't cure. We've been here before. In 1787, the economy of our nation was in absolute chaos and as a consequence, they met in Philadelphia to form a new country, and when they did, they did the right things, and in the second State of the Union address, which was written at that time by George Washington, he said the foundations, the economic foundations of our nation are on such sound footing that it would have been a madman would have suspected 3 years ago. The fact is that the chaos that they're creating doesn't mean that America can or has to be in decline. It means that we need to remove them as rapidly as possible and get people that know what to do and America will continue to climb. – Bob McEwen	added by Normando 4 months ago

When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already. … What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’ – Adolf Hitler	added by Normando 4 months ago
In republican governments, men are all equal; equal they are also in despotic governments: in the former, because they are everything; in the latter, because they are nothing. – Charles-Louis de Secondat	added by Normando 4 months ago
Just because something means nothing to you doesn't mean it's not vital or important to someone else, so try to use reason when judging someone. – Ryan Pack	added by littleking 4 months ago

The Universe became absurd to me the moment I learned that its geometry is flat, and that Minkowski spacetime is non-net positive (0). One can then deduce that energy can be ported into a spacetime via quantum tunnelling. If/when that's the case, then something can literally be created from 'nothing', hence the absurdity. – Link Starbureiy	added by anonymous 6 months ago
We should live, act and say nothing to the injury of anyone. – Robert E. Lee	added by acronimous 6 months ago

My formula for greatness in man is! amor fati: the fact that a man wishes nothing to be different, either in front of him or behind him, or for all eternity. Not only must the necessary be borne, and on no account concealed,—all idealism is falsehood in the face of necessity,—but it must also be loved.... – Friedrich Nietzsche	added by JokerGem 7 months ago

They gave me killer pills that knocked me on my ass for a few hours at least so I wouldn’t have to hear the godawful screaming. I’m exhausted and my blood boils and there’s nothing I can do. There was another life that seems so long ago and I try to reconstruct images, events, people, all just dreams tethered to the knife in my soul. This is my cross, my dagger, my napalm, my dance of the dead… – Scott C. Holstad	added by scottholstad 10 months ago
