Pastoral Resources

Like any parents, mine wanted me to have a secure job with a regular wage and career prospects. And the one job my father knew of, that he'd had experience of himself, was the army, so he could help me in that direction.

It's taken a long time but eventually when I had the songs in place and demos right and I found myself a manager, that's when everything started happening quickly but I think that's always the way it is.

Whoever realizes that the six senses aren't real, that the five aggregates are fictions, that no such things can be located anywhere in the body, understands the language of Buddhas.

Mr. Speaker, the time for an increase in the minimum wage has not just arrived; it is long overdue.

The national minimum wage has not been increased in 9 years. By year's end, 21 States across America will have a minimum wage exceeding the Federal minimum wage.

While 45 of the 50 States have either a State constitutional amendment or a statute that preserves the current definition of marriage, left-wing activist judges and officials at the local levels have struck down State laws protecting marriage.

Protecting the institution of marriage safeguards, I believe, the American family.

And that is why marriage and family law has emphasized the importance of marriage as the foundation of family, addressing the needs of children in the most positive way.

We will never have real safety and security for wage earners unless we provide for safety and security for the wage payers and wage savers.

Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.

My suggestion is that at each state the proper order of operation of the mind requires an overall grasp of what is generally known, not only in formal logical, mathematical terms, but also intuitively, in images, feelings, poetic usage of language, etc.

Courage ought to have eyes as well as arms.

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.

All of us have moments in out lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.

Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.

The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.
