| Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:Giving back involves a certain amount of giving up.[Colin Powell] Quote:Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.[Saint Augustine] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring. From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring. From the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, let freedom ring. But not only that: Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.[Colin Powell] Quote:Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.[Edward Abbey] Quote:He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.[Albert Camus] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:A few hours of mountain climbing turn a villain and a saint into two rather equal creature. Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity, and liberty is added eventually by sleep.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount. [Clare Booth Luce] Quote:When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income. [Plato] Definitions of: mounDefinition: pl. of Mow, may. |
