For all you lurkers with a low post count

I'm a mog - half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend.

 

[the GOAT]

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

This is gonna be my winning post

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

 

[the GOAT]

The origin of agriculture involved both human intentionality and a set of underlying ecological and evolutionary principles.

Well maybe this post will be the winner for me

I tell them that if they will occupy themselves with the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh.

 

[Marshy]

If I'm not back in five minutes, just wait longer.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Or this one....I don't care which post as long as I win

 

[Marshy]

First, take a big step back - and literally f--k your own face!

On second thought I have a feeling about this post. It feels lucky

 

[the GOAT]

Over the glittering, rattled ladders of shale the birds cross, tangential to the sea at night. Hour upon hour you can sense the undulation of wings. If you lift your cheek quite carefully you can feel the kiss and the wisp of air stirred by the inaudible glide.
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him.

Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.

Calm self-confidence is as far from conceit as the desire to earn a decent living is remote from greed.

[the GOAT]

Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach, it is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.
