Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.
Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts which we have wasted, of all that we might have done which we did not do.

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
Mahatma Gandhi
Loniless is a kind of strange feeling, no matter what we think we should feel, in the end we found ourselves seeing the world in more vivid colors and earing our own thoughts we couldn't ear for so long.
Loniless is the end of a world that we were constructing and the begining of a new one, if we have the courage to keep going with our own life.
For a while we have a brand new blank page, where we can paint (or not) anything. I will paint what is in my soul... I will keep going.

“We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.”

As social beings we live with our eyes upon our reflection, but have no assurance of the tranquillity of the waters in which we see it.

Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government.

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?

My favorite of all time, when Homer explains how boy's bodies work - "Point and shoot."
:D Nice Emsti. Guilty in charge, when I was younger, much younger. :o
People look at your life and see things as a big deal that aren't a big deal to you. What I mean is, the chapter breaks are different for me. What people think about any stuff it's so inaccurate, usually, but the fact is, I wouldn't want it to be accurate. Because it's my truth. When I was younger, it was more important to me to come off well. Now, I just want to try to be good at what I do. Because what I do become part of what I am. And trying to be better everyday is part of my GOAL, to myselfe and in my consciousness, nothing else. I only ask others what I am ready to give them. I would never ask for something, I am not ready to give and I always do unto others as I want for myselfe. There were times when a word of a man worth a lot and the honor of a banker was the strengh of his bank, good old times.
Very Crazy Duke Thoughts
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Albert Einstein
“Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.”
Louis L'Amour
Winning it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is. Unfortunately winning and keep winning needs different postures. Winning for the first time needs talent, to repeat takes character. I don't know though if I am a winner or I just hate to lose.
Duke
“The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.”
Albert Einstein
The primal principle of democracy
is the worth and dignity of the individual.
Edward Bellamy
When you are not the lead dog, the view never changes.
The highest position on a democracy is for definition the CITIZENSHIP. That will define, between equals, the direction that democracy must follow.
The strengh of the people is not in the weapons but in the clarify mind of the majoraty that must be very carefull to not be transformed on a dictactorship of the majority against minorities
The people is everywhere. It is in the army, in the public services and in the religions. The respect for each other is our main strengh. So it was in Greece, that a king died with his soldiers and will be in the future.
The CITIZEN is everywhere, very conscient of his roll and of it's freedom. It is defending other's freedom that we will keep ours.
Ricardo Ferreira
Friends are angels sent down to earth to make good days and help us find our way.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
GOD give me wisdom and patience to deal with some people because if you give strength maybe I will smash their faces.
Crazy Duke
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Edgar Allan Poe
Even when dark thoughts come I could discover with the strength of some friends and the light of my GOD the courage not to give up what I think is right though sometimes I think it is hopeless, I will keep on fighting for what I think is the best, excuse me if I disappointed someone, for I am only human.
Ricardo Ferreira
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head." -- P.J. O'Rourke
I can not comply with that. Even the Politicians fee and the one he gives to his friends and to his goons come from our money.Quote:

The citizen must be very conscientious of his roll in society because he knows he is the one that pays the bill, all bills...
Any society will be judge for history for this conscientious and the way it treats all beings, more or less rational, humans, animals, plants, water or energetic resources, in fact the way we have lived in this world. Don't tell your left hand what you have given with the right one.
If the charitable cause is good, just, and not wasteful, then it will not need the point of the government's gun to enforce it it. People will donate of their own free will, because of its merits.
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
T. E. Lawrence
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill
