I am now in that happy comfortable state that I do not hesitate to indulge in any fancy in regard to diet but watch the consequences and do not continue any course which adds to weight or bulk and consequent discomfort.

We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes. Yet this is mainly a consequence of CNN - we see many more but the number is roughly constant and we manage to deal much better with them over time. Globally the death rate from catastrophes has dropped about fifty-fold over the past century.

Dying before dying has two important consequences: It liberates the individual from the fear of death and influences the actual experience of dying at the time of biological demise.

An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.

Wisdom prudence forethought these are essential. But not second to these that noble courage which adventures the right and leaves the consequences to God.

God joins us together by means of the body in consequence of the laws of the communication of movements. He affects us with the same feelings in consequence of the laws of the conjunction of body and soul.

Probably the most visible example of unintended consequences is what happens every time humans try to change the natural ecology of a place.

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.

I think it's brought the world a lot closer together and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then again television at its best is magnificent.
