Menelik Ii Quotes

The Eucharist is the full realization of the worship which humanity owes to God, and it cannot be compared to any other religious experience ...

The grace flowing from this wellspring renews mankind, life, and history. ~ Pope John Paul II

I know, to the deepest marrow of my bones that I love you, that I want you, that I could not do, not a'tall, without making you mine one day. So call me weak, I don't bleeding care. Call me greedy, for I am that. I want you now, forever and always. ~ Eden Butler

Love is never something ready made, something merely 'given' to man and woman, it is always at the same time a 'task' which they are set. Love should be seen as something which in a sense never 'is' but is always only 'becoming', and what it becomes depends up on the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment. ~ Pope John Paul II

Unfortunately, yes.' Hazel gazed across the water, where the Argo II bobbed at anchor. 'Artemis knows a lot about missile weapons. She told us Octavian has ordered some … surprises for Camp Half-Blood. He's used most of the legion's treasure to purchase Cyclopes-built onagers.'
'Oh, no, not onagers!' Leo said. 'Also, what's an onager?'
Frank scowled. 'You build machines. How can you not know what an onager is? It's just the biggest, baddest catapult ever used by the Roman army.'
'Fine,' Leo said. 'But onager is a stupid name. They should've called them Valdezapults. ~ Rick Riordan

If the aim is globalization without marginalization, we can no longer tolerate a world in which there live side by side the immensely rich and the miserably poor, the have-nots deprived even of essentials and people who thoughtlessly waste what others so desperately need.

He further said, Ethics demand that systems be attuned to the needs of man, and not that man be sacrificed for the sake of the system. ~ Pope John Paul II

But one can often be in doubt about the effect of a word or a phrase, and one needs rules that one can rely on when instinct fails. I think the following rules will cover most cases:

(i) Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

(ii) Never use a long words where a short one will do.

(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything out-right barbarous. These rules sound elementary, and so they are, but they demand a deep change of attitude in anyone who has grown used to writing in the style now fashionable. One could keep all of them and still write bad English, but one could not write the kind of stuff that I quoted in those five specimens at the beginning of this article. ~ George Orwell

When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future. ~ Queen Elizabeth II

Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth. ~ Pope John Paul II

It must not be forgotten that reason too needs to be sustained in all its searching by trusting dialogue and sincere friendship. A climate of suspicion and distrust, which can beset speculative research, ignores the teaching of the ancient philosophers who proposed friendship as one of the most appropriate contexts for sound philosophical enquiry. ~ Pope John Paul II

The parables of Jesus have long been revered as earthly stories with heavenly meanings. They have been viewed in this way because Jesus was thought to be a teacher of spiritual truth and divine wisdom. However, this view of Jesus stands in some tension with the account of his final trial and execution. If Jesus was a teacher of heavenly truths dispensed through literary gems called parables, it is difficult to understand how he could have been executed as a political subversive and crucified between two social bandits. It appears that Jerusalem elites collaborating with their Roman overlords executed Jesus because he was a threat to their economic and political interests. Unless they perceived him to be a threat, they would not have publicly degraded and humiliated him before executing him in as ignominious a way as possible. ~ William R. Herzog II
