fall power men
Anyone who is kind to man knows the fragmentariness of most men, and wants to arrange a society of power in which men fall naturally into a collective wholeness, since they cannot have an individual wholeness.

fall passion glasses
When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego, and when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality and get into the forests again, we shall shiver with cold and fright but things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves.

fall mean careers
I figure I just keep working and let the chips fall where they may, and if that means I end up having an eclectic career, so be it.

fall philosophical atheism
Highly technical philosophical arguments of the sort many philosophers favor are absent here. That is because I have a prior problem to deal with.

fall missing enlightenment
Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may.

God beckons storm clouds and they come. He tells the wind to blow and the rain to fall, and they obey immediately.

We have the audacity to look God in the face and say, 'No. David Platt

Death is a large form of entertainment, probably the largest. Watching death in different ways is entertaining for us, whether it's a high-speed chase and a guy grabs a helicopter and flies away.

fall ambition fighting
It is simple to follow the easy and familiar path of personal ambition and private gain. It is more comfortable to sit content in the easy approval of friends and of neighbours than to risk the friction and the controversy that comes with public affairs. It is easier to fall in step with the slogans of others than to march to the beat of the internal drummer - to make and stand on judgements of your own. And it far easier to accept and to stand on the past, than to fight for the answers of the future Daniel Webster
