Daily Aesthetics Dump: Embracing Energy, Beauty, Strength, and Greatness

Health is the vital principle of bliss,
And exercise, of health.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.

The nuns taught us there are two ways through life: the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it, too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it, when love is smiling through all things. They taught us that no one who loves the way of grace ever comes to a bad end. I will be true to you. Whatever comes.
The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
If I never meet you
In this life
Let me feel the lack
A glance from your eyes
Then my life
Will be yours.
To suffer binds you to something higher than yourself, higher than your own will. Takes you from the world, to find what lies beyond it. We are not only to endure patiently the troubles He sends, we are to regard them as gifts. As gifts more precious than the happiness we wish for ourselves.
There is love that is like a stream that can go dry when rain no longer feeds it. But there is a love that is like a spring coming up from the earth. The first is human love, the second is divine love and has its source above.
There's something I know when I'm with you that I forget when I'm away.
I wondered how it'd be like when I died, what it'd be like to know this breath now was the last one you was ever gonna draw. I just hope I can meet it the same way she did, with the same... calm. 'Cause that's where it's hidden - the immortality I hadn't seen.
This great evil, where's it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doing this? Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we might've known? Does our ruin benefit the earth, does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night?

I can see now that this thread was a set up. I said so as first but it's now so obvious

Only feminine retards thinks quoting someone is plagiarism. Niggers and feemales cannot play chess. Let me post the greatest chess minds in history to improve the beauty, strength, and greatness of this thread.
This is one example of the kind of thing you are up too here.

Perhaps man is the creature who, once struck down, defines himself by his ability to rise.
Run, run, Orlando: carve on every tree
The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she.
I thank God that I was born Greek and not barbarian, free and not slave, male and not female, but above all that I was born in the age of Socrates.
How is this enlightened? You were born of woman after all

Long periods of peace and quiet favor certain optical illusions. Among them is the assumption that the invulnerability of the home is founded upon the constitution and safeguarded by it. In reality, it rests upon the father of the family who, accompanied by his sons, appears with the ax on the threshold of his dwelling.
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself: if you heed yourself, you'll never go wrong.
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.
I object to pretensions of natural equality.
What nature does blindly, slowly and ruthlessly, man may do providently, quickly, and kindly. As it lies within his power, so it becomes his duty to work in that direction.

In which direction we have hitherto no certain evidence that any one has gone.
Your Highnesses have an Other World here, by which our holy faith can be so greatly advanced and from which such great wealth can be drawn.
-
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.
God became man so that we might become God. -
I am in love with life.
If you only realized how good things are.

Quality women desserves it all.
Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution — it is called pregnancy.
-
The One remains, the many change and pass;
Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly;
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments.—Die,
If thou wouldst be with that which thou dost seek!
Follow where all is fled!—Rome’s azure sky,
Flowers, ruins, statues, music, words are weak
The glory they transfuse with fitting truth to speak.
The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.

Famed US heavyweight Gene Tunney was unique, therefore, in that here was fighter who not only possessed in abundance the ring intelligence outlined above, he was also a man of letters who was known to carry in his gym bag along with his gloves and wraps the works of Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, F Scott Fitzgerald and other literary giants.
We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny. -
