done maps planning
Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.
dad smart father
When I seemed to be irritable or sad, my father would quote the learned Dr. Knight, and then say, 'Just go to sleep.' Like all smart aleck kids, I thought the advice was silly. But as I've grown older, I've realized just how smart Knight was.
law rights done
We are not supposed to be all equal. Let's just forget that. We are supposed to have equal rights under law. If we do that, we have done enough.
winning upset trying
If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators.
seems ifs
I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.
crush children parenting
Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.
party israel realizing
When are American Jews going to realize that the Republican Party is far better for Israel than the Democrats?
beautiful sleep america
It is so great to sleep in safe, glorious, beautiful America. I just cannot get over it.
zero mean greed
It means zero to be against greed.
sleep home night
Sleep more at night. If it's allowed at work or home, take a nap in the afternoon. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.
mean animal breathing
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
lying listening bed
I am so in love with just lying in bed listening to Mozart.
mean dust devil
If we are just specks of dust hit by lightning, if we have no spark of God in us, why not just take whatever we can and devil take the hindmost? I mean, we are fools not to do that if there is no right or wrong.
thank-you thanksgiving sacrifice
I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.
