Build a life that radiates internal happiness, not merely an external façade. – Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 4 days ago
Create a life that brings inner contentment, not one merely designed for external admiration. – Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 4 days ago
Knowledge is not merely knowing facts, but the humility to acknowledge the vastness of what we don't yet understand. – Aloo Denish Obiero	added by Aloo-Denish 5 days ago
Some humans strive to squander precious time while complaining about the advancements of technology, blinded to the fact that it can grant them the luxury of more moments with their cherished ones. Embrace innovation, for it offers opportunities to learn and bask in the warmth of love, rather than merely wasting away in the endless abyss of mindless media consumption. – Yvonne Padmos	added by Freelancer 2 months ago
Theology is what I would consider “the dance of the unseen”, a slow dance with the intangible forces that shape the contours of existence. In this metaphysical ballroom, dogmas and doctrines swirl like ephemeral partners, casting shadows on the walls of human understanding. The unseen becomes the veil through which revelation flutters, inviting seekers to engage in the sacred minuet of contemplation. Here, theology is not merely an intellectual discourse but I would consider it a bold artistic expression. – Martin Tobias Lithner	added by huyenhuyen19921992 4 months ago
This day (Independence Day) reminds us that true independence is not merely the absence of external control, but the resolute presence of self-determination. – Aloo Denish	added by Aloo-Denish 10 months ago
Independence Day is not just a date on the calendar; it is a flame that ignites the spirit of every individual, reminding us that freedom is our birthright and courage is our strength. This day reminds us that true independence is not merely the absence of external control, but the resolute presence of self-determination. As we commemorate the valor of our fathers who valiantly fought for our freedom, let us honor their sacrifices by cultivating a society that values diversity, upholds justice, and champions the well-being of all. Our actions today will lay the foundation for a prosperous and harmonious nation. – Aloo Denish	added by Aloo-Denish 10 months ago
However accurate or inaccurate the agency’s numbers may be, tax law explicitly presumes that the IRS is always right -- and implicitly presumes that the taxpayer is always wrong -- in any dispute with the government. In many cases, the IRS introduces no evidence whatsoever of its charges; it merely asserts that a taxpayer had a certain amount of unreported income and therefore owes a proportionate amount in taxes, plus interest and penalties. – James Bovard	added by Normando 11 months ago
This order merely stays the implementation of our rule so the Court can review the briefing. We will continue fighting for all patients to have access to adequate health care. – Madeline Sieren	Found on CNN 11 months ago
He merely rang the doorbell. That was it, and the owner of the home shoots through the door, hitting him in the head and then shoots him a second time. – Susan Pfannmuller/AP Crump	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Nobody can tell us if the roles were reversed, and you had a Black man shoot a White 16-year-old teenager for merely ringing his doorbell that he would not be arrested, i mean, this citizen went home and slept in his bed at night after shooting that young Black kid in the head. – Susan Pfannmuller/AP Crump	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Because it is occasionally possible, just for brief moments, to find the words that will unlock the doors of all those many mansions inside the head and express something - perhaps not much, just something - of the crush of information that presses in on us from the way a crow flies over and the way a man walks and the look of a street and from what we did one day a dozen years ago. Words that will express something of the deep complexity that makes us precisely the way we are, from the momentary effect of the barometer to the force that created men distinct from trees. Something of the inaudible music that moves us along in our bodies from moment to moment like water in a river. Something of the spirit of the snowflake in the water of the river. Something of the duplicity and the relativity and the merely fleeting quality of all this. Something of the almighty importance of it and something of the utter meaninglessness. And when words can manage something of this, and manage it in a moment, of time, and in that same moment, make out of it all the vital signature of a human being - not of an atom, or of a geometrical diagram, or of a heap of lenses - but a human being, we call it poetry. – Ted Hughes	added by JokerGem 1 year ago
A short-term punt would merely delay and not eliminate the disruption risks of the debt limit. – Eurasia Group	Found on CNN 1 year ago
...it's often mistaken to accept something as true merely because it's obvious. The truth is only arrived at by the painstaking process of eliminating the untrue. – Sherlock Holmes	added by milly_b 1 year ago
And I don’t accept the premise that this has anything to do with the conduct of any of the Democratic members. This is merely the weakness of Kevin McCarthy’s speakership, that he’s so reliant on these extreme members. – Adam Schiff	Found on CNN 1 year ago

Anything lost, can be found again expect for time wasted. A vision without action is merely a dream. Its the action that's pride, its the hustle, its the persistence. – kevin gates	added by 2001211 1 year ago
Next to enjoying ourselves, the next greatest pleasure consists in preventing others from enjoying themselves, or, more generally, in the acquisition of power. Consequently those who live under the dominion of Puritanism become exceedingly desirous of power. Now love of power does far more harm than love of drink or any of the other vices against which Puritans protest. Of course, in virtuous people love of power camouflages itself as love of doing good, but this makes very little difference to its social effects. It merely means that we punish our victims for being wicked, instead of for being our enemies. In either case, tyranny and war result. Moral indignation is one of the most harmful forces in the modern world, the more so as it can always be diverted to sinister uses by those who control propaganda. – Bertrand Russell	added by Normando 1 year ago
Our client merely patted Mr. Giuliani, who sustained nothing remotely resembling physical injuries, without malice to simply get his attention. – The Legal Aid Society	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
NALCO share is going down steadily in a fashion that traders can do nothing. Between buy and sell price, the difference is merely of 15-20 paise only. What it means if you buy at Rs.93.85 then it goes up to at Rs.94.05only and this means traders can't even recover brokerage charge and ends up losers only – Lakshheish M Patel	added by laksheishmpatel_2 1 year ago

You're not going to walk into Duane Reade and take whatever you want and walk out, you're not going to hop over the counter and take codeine and other drugs... You're not going to drive motorcycles through the streets, pulling people out and assaulting them merely because of a traffic accident. You're not going to openly inject yourself with drugs. You're not going to just do whatever you want in the city. – Eric Adams	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Permafrost degradation is a slow process. We're usually talking about centimeters per year. This here is more than merely degradation, it's also a qualitative change. So, I would say that yes, it is unexpected to see, hypotheses had been voiced in the literature concerning the possibility of such processes, but this is the first time they have been directly observed. – Evgeny Chuvilin	Found on CNN 2 years ago
