Some people suffer in silence more louder than others

How long a minute is depends upon which side of the bathroom door you happen to be
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other
The antagonism between science and religion, about which we hear so much, appears to me purely factitious, fabricated on the one hand by short-sighted religious people, who confound [...] theology with religion; and on the other by equally short-sighted scientific people who forget that science takes for its province only that which is susceptible of clear intellectual comprehension.

Marinating provides an opportunity for flavors to penetrate the chicken. The marinating time can vary tremendously and the results will still be tasty. I like to marinate overnight, in the refrigerator, but even three hours can add a lot to the flavor or your chicken.
1 chicken, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced, fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Place chicken in a shallow dish. Add remaining ingredients and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate refrigerated for at least 3 hours. Place chicken skin side down on broiler rack. Pour half of marinade mixture in cavity of chicken. Broil 9 to 10 inches from broiler for about 30 minutes. Turn chicken, brush with remaining mixture. Broil 20 to 30 minutes longer or until cooked through.

Life is a great bundle of little things.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)
The situation of the world is still like this. People completely identify with one side, one ideology. To understand the suffering and the fear of a citizen of the Soviet Union, we have to become one with him or her. To do so is dangerous - we will be suspected by both sides. But if we don't do it, if we align ourselves with one side or the other, we will lose our chance to work for peace. Reconciliation is to understand both sides, to go to one side and describe the suffering being endured by the other side, and then to go to the other side and describe the suffering being endured by the first side. Doing only that will be a great help for peace.
- Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace, 1987 edition, Parallax Press, Berkeley, CA.
There is, in fact, only one solution: the state, the government, the laws must not in any way concern themselves with schooling or education. Public funds must not be used for such purposes. The rearing and instruction of youth must be left entirely to parents and to private associations and institutions.
- Ludwig Von Mises, Liberalism, p. 115Jealousy arises from a lack of confidence, not in others, but in oneself
The person who loves everybody and feels at home everywhere is the true hater of mankind He expects nothing from men, so no form of depravity can outrage him
Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
- Joseph Stalin
I am waiting for a sign that will indicate to me what meaning I must give to my life, but right now my existence is satisfactory.

Education makes machines which act like men and produces men who act like machines.

People often ask Frank if a Cornish game hen is a separate breed from regular chickens. The answer is mostly no and a little bit yes. Cornish game hens are young chickens, usually around five weeks; if they were just a couple of weeks older, they'd be sold for broilers, except for the Perdue ones. Perdue Cornish come from the Roaster breed which Perdue geneticist Norman Lupean developed, and which is only available through Perdue. Unlike broilers, roasters reach market size at twelve weeks. Both Perdue Cornish and the Oven Stuffer Roasters were bred to have the broadest, meatiest breasts in the industry.
2 fresh Cornish game hens
1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup grape jelly
2 tablespoons oil
Halve hens and remove backbones. In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients. Grill 5 to 6 inches above medium-hot coals for 30 to 40 minutes until cooked through, turning 2 to 3 times. Baste with mustard mixture during last 15 minutes.

Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise
Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are
The story of a theory's failure often strikes readers as sad and unsatisfying. Since science thrives on self-correction, we who practice this most challenging of human arts do not share such a feeling. We may be unhappy if a favored hypothesis loses or chagrined if theories that we proposed prove inadequate. But refutation almost always contains positive lessons that overwhelm disappointment, even when [...] no new and comprehensive theory has yet filled the void.
- Stephen Jay Gould, Bully for Brontosaurus (1991), "The Face of Miranda"If you wish to converse with me, define your terms
Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more
War is too damn expensive these days to ever be justified as a solution

1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Inflation hits all of us, but in this recipe, you'll find one ingredient has come down in price over the years. In fact, it's come down spectacularly. In Roman times, raisins weren't just expensive, they were money. You could buy a young slave for 2 amphora (jars) of raisins.
2 tablespoons oil
1 chicken cut in serving pieces
1-1/2 cups orange juice
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup slivered almonds
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and brown for 12 to 15 minutes per side. Pour orange juice over chicken. Sprinkle salt, cinnamon, pepper, raisins and almonds on top. Cover and simmer for approximately 30 minutes or until cooked through.

- And yes the reason I love quotes it gets us back to the way life used to be and should be ... and we must be reminded as life is becoming very stressful, very busy, families are no longer what they used to be and I love to be reminded to slow down and smell the roses. Think about where you are going and what you are doing. They truly give life perspective.

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears that this is true
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Quotation. The act of repeating erroneously the words of another. The words erroneously repeated.

The rearing and instruction of youth must be left entirely to parents and to private associations and institutions.
- Ludwig Von Mises, Liberalism, p. 115
We must encourage [each other] once we have grasped the basic points to interconnecting everything else on our own, to use memory to guide our original thinking, and to accept what someone else says as a starting point, a seed to be nourished and grown. For the correct analogy for the mind is not a vessel that needs filling but wood that needs igniting no more and then it motivates one towards originality and instills the desire for truth. Suppose someone were to go and ask his neighbors for fire and find a substantial blaze there, and just stay there continually warming himself: that is no different from someone who goes to someone else to get to some of his rationality, and fails to realize that he ought to ignite his own flame, his own intellect, but is happy to sit entranced by the lecture, and the words trigger only associative thinking and bring, as it were, only a flush to his cheeks and a glow to his limbs; but he has not dispelled or dispersed, in the warm light of philosophy, the internal dank gloom of his mind.
- Plutarch, On Listening to Lectures
Men changed war, war changed men.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.
