"Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education."
Chuang-Tzu
"The heights of great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upwards in the night."
Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
"A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea."
John Anthony Ciardi
"I dream of wayward gulls and all landless lovers, rare moments of winter sun, peace, privacy, for everyone."
William F(rancis) Claire
"I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye."
Leonard
"There's a deep fly ball... Winfield goes back, back... his head hits the wall ... it's rolling towards second base."
Jerry Coleman
"Grubb goes back, back... He's under the warning track and makes the play."
Jerry Coleman
"There is someone warming up in the Giants' bullpen, but he's obscured by his number."
Jerry Coleman
"Edwards missed getting Stearns at third base by an eyeball."
Jerry Coleman
"Know that the pain will pass, and, when it passes, you will be stronger, happier, more sensitive and aware."
Mel Colgrove
"The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action."
Confucius
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."
(John) Calvin Coolidge
"People will frighten you about a graduation....They use words you don't hear often... 'And we wish you Godspeed.' It is a warning, Godpeed. It means you are no longer welcome here at these prices."
Bill Cosby
"History is a vast early warning system."
Norman Cousins
"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow-citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."
Tench Coxe
"Being filled with the Holy Spirit, then, is a matter of obedience to the Word of God. The filling of the Spirit that all experienced at Pentecost was a matter of a promise being fulfilled. Today, the believer is to be filled in obedience to the command of Ephesians 5:18, continuously, not merely by a single, crisis experience. The Christian life is a growth process toward maturity."
Clarence Cramer
"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell."
Joan Crawford
"You have to lead people gently toward what they already know is right."
Philip
"To keep the fire burning brightly, there's one easy rule: keep the two logs together, near enough to keep each other warm and far enough apart -- about a finger's breadth -- for breathing room. Good fire, good marriage, same rule."
Marnie Reed Crowell
"Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point: every man is a condemned criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution. This is unpleasant for every man. Consequently every man does everything possible to postpone the date, and would sacrifice anything that he has if he could reverse the sentence. Practically all religions and all philosophies have started thus crudely, by promising their adherents some such reward as immortality. No religion has failed hitherto by not promising enough; the present breaking up of all religions is due to the fact that people have asked to see the securities. Men have even renounced the important material advantages which a well-organized religion may confer upon a State, rather than acquiesce in fraud or falsehood, or even in any system which, if not proved guilty, is at least unable to demonstrate its innocence. Being more or less bankrupt, the best thing that we can do is to attack the problem afresh without preconceived ideas. Let us begin by doubting every statement. Let us find a way of subjecting every statement to the test of experiment. Is there any truth at all in the claims of various religions? Let us examine the question."
Aleister Crowley
