My mother's sympathies were strongly with the Union. She knew that war was bound to come but so confident was she in the strength of the Federal Government that she devoutly believed that the struggle could not last longer than six months at the utmost.
All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.
As someone who worked hard for a Labour victory in the 90s do I regret it? Not really. It was bound to happen. And it'll happen with the next government and the one after it. Because all governments serve us. They serve the filth.
Every wise just and mild government by rendering the condition of its subjects easy and secure will always abound most in people as well as in commodities and riches.
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
My idea in terms of managing a narrative or in thinking in my creative life is that you could easily argue that the past the present and the future all occur simultaneously and if you can postulate that then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative.
The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past just as it is bound to modify the future.
I think the Cold War works as a great analogy or simile for different kinds of conflict. It's funny when you look back at it it's one of the last times that the boundaries were clear. Now as we see on 'Homeland ' there are no clear boundaries and enemies.
