What’s Drives You?




What a wonderful power the machine gives you but, is it going to dominate you? The statement of what the need and want is must come from you not from the machine. Not from the government that’s teaching you or not even from the clergy, it has to come from one’s own inside and the minute that you let that drop and take what the dictation (dictator) of the time is instead of the dictation of your own eternity is you have capitulated to the devil and you are in hell.

–Joseph Campbell
The Hero’s Journey

Whether you can
observe a thing
depends upon the
theory you are using.

Cheerful Giver

 


 

Cheerful Giver

 

The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

 

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

 

And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.

 

–II Corinthians 9:6-8

 


Shut Me Out

 


 

Shut Me Out

 

They drew a circle that shut me out
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.

 

But love and I had the wit to win;
We drew a circle that took them in.

–Edwin Markham

 


 


 

Indifference

 


 

Indifference

 

The opposite of love is not to hate
It is indifference.

 

The opposite of art is not ugliness
It is indifference.

 

The opposite of faith is not heresy
It is indifference.

 

And the opposite of life is not death
It is indifference.

–Elie Wiesel

 


 

Man in the Arena

 


 

Man in the Arena

 

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

–President Theodore Roosevelt
