Quote Left We find amongst animals, as amongst men, power of feeling pleasure, power of feeling pain; we see them moved by love and by hate; we see them feeling terror and attraction; we recognize in them powers of sensation closely akin to our own, and while we transcend them immensely in intellect, yet in mere passional characteristics our natures and the animals’ are closely allied. We know that when they feel terror, that terror means suffering. We know that when a wound is inflicted, that wound means pain to them. We know that threats bring to them suffering; they have a feeling of shrinking, of fear, of absence of friendly relations, and at once we begin to see that in our relations to the animal kingdom a duty arises which all thoughtful and compassionate minds should recognize—the duty that because we are stronger in mind than the animals, we are or ought to be their guardians and helpers, not their tyrants and oppressors, and we have no right to cause them suffering and terror merely for the gratification of the palate, merely for an added luxury to our own lives. Quote Right
Quote Left Other nations of different habits are not enemies: they are godsends. Men require of their neighbours something sufficiently akin to be understood, something sufficiently different to provoke attention, and something great enough to command admiration. We must not expect, however, all the virtues. Quote Right
Quote Left Wooing the press is an exercise roughly akin to picnicking with a tiger. You might enjoy the meal, but the tiger always eats last. Quote Right
Quote Left Computer Science: 1. A study akin to numerology and astrology, but lacking the precision of the former and the success of the latter. 2. The boring art of coping with a large number of trivialities. Quote Right
Quote Left At the moment our human world is based on the suffering and destruction of millions of non-humans. To perceive this and to do something to change it in personal and public ways is to undergo a change of perception akin to a religious conversion. Nothing can ever be seen in quite the same way again because once you have admitted the terror and pain of other species you will, unless you resist conversion, be always aware of the endless permutations of suffering that support our society. Quote Right
Quote Left A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them; they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or, as the common phrase makes it, feminine intuition. Quote Right

Quote Left A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky. Quote Right
Quote Left Rapidity does not always mean progress, and hurry is akin to waste. The old fable of the hare and the tortoise is just as good now, and just as true, as when it was first written. Quote Right
Quote Left To be angry about trifles is mean and childish; to rage and be furious is brutish; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine. Quote Right
Quote Left Philebus was saying that enjoyment and pleasure and delight, and the class of feelings akin to them, are a good to every living being, whereas I contend, that not these, but wisdom and intelligence and memory, and their kindred, right opinion and true reasoning, are better and more desirable than pleasure Quote Right
Quote Left To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation. Quote Right

Quote Left There is something in sorrow more akin to the course of human affairs than joy. Quote Right

Quote Left It's the End of the World and the Only people taking it Seriously aren’t getting taken Seriously. Quote Right
Quote Left It's a good idea for a poet to read a lot of poetry, preferably in more than one language, making no effort either to concentrate on or to avoid the poetry of any particular country or century, including your own: just read what you like. Then when you write a poem, assume your reader has read, understood, and liked all the same poetry that you have read, understood, and liked. That this isn’t true doesn’t matter. Quote Right
Quote Left What could be worse than being dead and deprived from making a difference? Don't let your mistakes weigh you down, stand up and do the needful immediately. If you're not dead, you're not done. Greater things are still to come. Don't walk again in the path where you tripped and fell in hell. The bleeding Pen. Blossom Monyei Quote Right
Quote Left The creative work/life analogy. Some seeds don't implant. Some don't germinate. Some auto-abort. Some are clearly miscarriages. And a few actually see the light and breathe. And, quite a few need to spanked into taking that first breath. Quote Right
Quote Left America learns as it grows, making us bloom better with each season. Quote Right
Quote Left "Avoid words that blow up the significance of disrespect, and be wary of confirmation bias that reinforces negativity. See the bigger picture and handle difficulties philosophically within yourself. While speaking of grievances may offer temporary relief, it can keep you stuck in victimhood. Choose to focus on inner growth rather than amplifying negativity outwardly." Quote Right
Quote Left Let us sweep daily our minds and hearts as we do our chimneys, the soot out, making ready for fresh warmth. Quote Right
Quote Left For sure, see it, next feel it mentally -- then will it into physical being. That is true Free Will. Free Will is not simply making choices. You have it in the palms of your creative hands, needed only to be set free. Quote Right
Quote Left All poetry is an expression of what the soul is undergoing. It takes courage for ego 2 step aside & let soul present itself. This is what poets do when they step forward to present their poetry to the world. They are not only speaking for themselves. They are speaking their truths, reflecting truths of many others experiencing the same soul development phenomenon on a planet rapidly transitioning from old paradigms into paradigms which Heart represents. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands. Quote Right
Quote Left There are two kinds of money : the one you make without expecting it, and the one you expect without making it. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left Happiness is more expressive than Joy. Happiness is external. Joy is internal. Happiness is surface wiring. Joy is conduit. Happiness flirts. Joy is faithful. Both are like the two lobes of our brains. The one you make use of while making money is not the one you make use of while spending it. And life goes on. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right

Quote Left As many politicians have a Machiavellian mindset, media manipulation is often used as a strategy to divert the truth, making the victim appear to be a criminal, thus, you need to have a clear mindset to avoid bias. A perfect governance will only be achieved when a politician has nationalism in his/her heart. Only then will the needs of the citizens be prioritized. There are many public servants, but only few served with nationalistic intentions. Quote Right
