I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
I am very proud of my mom and consider her the most courageous woman I know. With perseverance sacrifice and hard work she raised a family of Olympic athletes and gave us the tools and the spirit to succeed. That is something that my brothers and I will always be thankful for.
To this day my mom's unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years she's worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as 'Sami.' Along with 500 miles of shelved books her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself.
I'm an actress and mom and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.
Wars may be fought with weapons but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men in all lands everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
The fact that he didn't get credit for a while is more the story of social injustice. But his own spirit wasn't driven by that and wasn't dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school.
For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.
Marriage is a risk I think it's a great and glorious risk as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.

It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.
