<|endoftext|>philosophy: When you've had one call after another and your little one is tugging on your shirt, remember what really matters.

<|endoftext|>relationship: Often we take personally the slings and arrows of our 'abusers'. But frequently we are merely the interchangeable pawns of their own neurotic dramas.

<|endoftext|>hope: Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor?

12,564
<|endoftext|>humor: We are fans of Mozart and Beethoven, as well 'South Park' and Borat.

12,574
<|endoftext|>love: I don't like customer service, because I don't believe the customer should have to pay and help out too.<|endoftext|>
12,575
<|endoftext|>life: The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.<|endoftext|>

Virtues and graces and laziness and zest. Our Father who art in nature.<|endoftext|>

12,591

12,592
<|endoftext|>religion: People cited violation of the First Amendment when a New Jersey schoolteacher asserted that evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific and that Noah's ark carried dinosaurs.
