Clarion Content

Wishing you all a joy-filled, peaceful, healthy 2008.

Thought we would start the year with a few Pithy F*rging Sayings from the Singularity, call it a little kick start motivation.

You/we can make it happen. At the Clarion, we believe.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."---Mahatma Gandhi

"To be nobody but yourself in a world that is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight."---e.e. cummings

"If you have ever been called defiant, incorrigible, forward, cunning, insurgent, unruly or rebellious, you're on the right track. If you have never been called these things, there is yet time."---Clarissa Pinkola Estes

"There may not always be a way out, but there is usually a way onward."---staff

"There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self."---Hindu proverb

"It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. For the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order, this lukewarmness arriving partly from fear of their adversaries, who have the laws in their favor; and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had an actual experience of it. Thus it arises that on every opportunity for attacking the reformer, the opponents do so with the zeal of partisans, the others only defend him halfheartedly, so that between them he runs great danger."---Machiavelli

"The abuse of tea has taken on the characteristics of a plague-it is not only confined to men, but has even spread to women and children. The situation is be coming very dangerous. Tea abuse...takes the form of an imperious and irrestible craving."---Tunisian physician (1930)
