Quotable Quotes Certainly one may say, ‘Freedom to speak or write can be taken from us by a superior power, but never the freedom to think!’ But how much, and how correctly, would we think if we did not think, as it were, in common with others, with whom we mutually communicate! _Immanuel Kant, Critique of Practical Reason In any event, the theory of contrarianism advises that you "Thrust your thoughts out of a rut. In a word, be a nonconformist when using your mind." Or, to use another oft-quoted Neillism, "When everyone thinks alike, everyone is likely to be wrong."_Christopher Mayer Man is obviously made for thinking. Therein lies all his dignity and his merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought._Blaise Pascal (1623–62), French scientist, philosopher Pascal expanded on this idea in another aphorism: “All our dignity consists in thought. It is on thought that we must depend for our reovery, not on space and time which we could never fill. Let us then strive to think well; that is the basic principle of morality.” (no. 200 ed. by Krailsheimer, no. 347 ed. by Brunschvicg). Do You agree? Thought is a process of exaggeration. The refusal to exaggerate is not infrequently an alibi for the disinclination to think or praise. _Eric Hoffer (1902–83), U.S. philosopher Post your views on Fraternity@googlegroups.com Subscribe free.http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/fraternityonline * Think and Then Act by Sandy Karn Think and then act! That is good advice, yet some of us fail to give adequate thought to what we are about to do and others among us may get stuck in our thoughts and fail to get around to acting. D´s and I´s tend to move quickly to action without taking time to adequately think about what they are about to do. D´s are focused on the end results. They know exactly what they want and they realize that the only way to get those results is to take action to make it happen. They prefer to act now and to deal with the consequences later. I´s tend to move quickly to get other people involved as much as possible. If there are people available, they tend to get them involved even if they are not quite sure what to do or what the results may be. High C´s and S´s tend to get caught up in thinking. C´s like to look at the big picture. They try to anticipate all the possible consequences of their actions. They also want to be sure that they have the necessary data and that they are not overlooking anything that may affect the outcome. S´s tend to spend a lot of time on preparation. They like to have a detailed plan of action, with all necessary materials and resources right at hand. They also think about all the things that could possibly go wrong. Whenever you undertake something significant, I encourage you to call upon all four of these tendencies within you. Take time to gather all the relevant data that is available, develop a solid plan, and think through the consequences of your actions for everyone concerned. Then take decisive action, involving others whenever appropriate. Your goal: To take time to think about any significant undertaking and then to take decisive action to obtain your desired results. The result: You will avoid disastrous results and missed opportunities. You will make steady progress toward obtaining the results you truly desire. Your assignment: The next time you are about to undertake something significant, take time before you begin to develop a reasonably detailed plan, line up the necessary equipment and resources, and consider the probable consequences for yourself and others. Then take decisive action to implement your plan, involving others whenever possible in ways that are meaningful and appropriate for them. Wishing You the Very Best! Sandy Karn

Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. So let's get wasted and have the time of our lives!_ Unknown Time is money but not for the un-employed! A three year old walked over to the pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctors office. He inquisitively asks the lady," why is your stomach so big?" She replied, "Im having a baby." With big eyes,he asked, "Is the baby in your stomach?" She said, "He sure is." Then the little boy with a puzzled look asked, "Is it a good baby?" She said, "oh yes, its a real good baby." With even a more surprised and shocked look he said, "Then why in the world did you eat him?"
