Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Sunday, September 27, 2015 – Steve Sabol

“Life is great. Football is better.”

And

“The autumn wind is a pirate. Blustering in from sea with a rollicking song he sweeps along swaggering boisterously. His face is weather beaten, he wears a hooded sash with a silver hat about his head… The autumn wind is a Raider, pillaging just for fun.”

And

“I think in the NFL knowledge is power, and you try to get the knowledge by whatever means.”

And

“A perfect record does not mean that someone is the greatest. Rocky Marciano never lost a fight, but I never hear anyone say he’s the greatest heavyweight champion of all time.”

And

“I never thought of what I was doing as a way to sell the NFL. I was making movies about a sport that I loved, about players and coaches that I respected. I wanted to convey my love of the game through film. And most artists convey their love through art. And my art and my love was expressed through film.”

And

“Lombardi, a certain magic still lingers in the very name. It speaks of duels in the snow and November mud… He remains for many the heart of pro football, pumping hard right now.”

And

“Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.”

And

“I’ve always been fascinated by Picasso and how he would look at a single image through multiple perspectives and from separate moments in time. He would look at a woman’s face and he would see almost a three-dimensional look even though it was a flat canvas. I thought, well why couldn’t we do the same thing with a football play?”

And

“When my father bid $5,000 for the 1962 Championship Game, that was a huge amount. It was double the bid the year before. Pete Rozelle was flabbergasted. Who was this guy who was willing to spend so much money on what seemed like relatively worthless rights to the NFL Championship Game?”

And

“If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s not being noticed.”

And

“I remember when we were making ‘They Call It Pro Football,’ which was our ‘Citizen Kane.’ The first line is ‘It starts with a whistle and ends with a gun.'”

And

“If you can show something as complicated as two people falling in love with just music and camera angles, well, just think about what you can do with football.”

And

“Football is a sport of emotions, and we have to capture that in our films.”

And

“I’ve been very lucky in the freedom that I’ve been given. Every artist needs two types of freedom: You need the freedom to – the freedom to come up with an idea or treatment – and then you need the other half of the freedom, and that’s freedom from – somebody saying, ‘This is great. This is how I want you to do it.'”

And

“NFL Films has had one continuous, creative vision for 47 years. These are timeless things; timeless stories that we capture just like people go back and read Greek mythology.”

And

“You know how I came up with the name ‘Road to the Super Bowl?’ It’s an homage to the old Bob Hope – Bing Crosby buddy movies – you know, like ‘Road to Zanzibar’ or ‘Road to Morocco.’ Can you tell? All I’ve done my whole life is go to movies.”

And

“So they talk about heaven, and I don’t know what is waiting for me up there. But I can tell you this: Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. Nothing. That life cannot be better than the one I’ve lived down here, the football life. It’s been perfect.”

And

“To me, football is very personal. Even as a kid, I looked at football in dramaturgical terms. It wasn’t the score that interested me, it was the struggle.”

And

“I’ve always believed in that famous quote from Karl Marx, something like; ‘Men make history, but not under conditions of their own choosing.”

And

“The pressure is suffocating down there; there’s no air to breathe. You make a mistake or come up just short in the Super Bowl, and it feels like the end of the world.”

“Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.”

And

“Leadership is intangible, and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.”

And

“Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.”

And

“This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.”

And

“Dependability, integrity, the characteristic of never knowingly doing anything wrong, that you would never cheat anyone, that you would give everybody a fair deal. Character is a sort of an all-inclusive thing. If a man has character, everyone has confidence in him. Soldiers must have confidence in their leader.”

And

“We have men of science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.”

And

“Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them, must share the guilt for the dead.”

And

“The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.”

Gerald Ford, remarks upon presenting Bradley with the Presidential Medal of Freedom (10 January 1977)

And

An Armistice Day Address

By General Omar N. Bradley
Boston, Massachusetts
November 10, 1948

“TOMORROW is our day of conscience. For although it is a monument to victory, it is also a symbol of failure. Just as it honors the dead, so must it humble the living.

Armistice Day is a constant reminder that we won a war and lost a peace.

It is both a tribute and an indictment: A tribute to the men who died that their neighbors might live without fear of aggression. An indictment of those who lived and forfeited their chance for peace.

Therefore, while Armistice Day is a day for pride, it is for pride in the achievements of others—humility in our own.

Neither remorse nor logic can hide the fact that our armistice ended in failure. Not until the armistice myth exploded in the blast of a Stuka bomb did we learn that the winning of wars does not in itself make peace. And not until Pearl Harbor did we learn that non-involvement in peace means certain involvement in war.
We paid grievously for those faults of the past in deaths, disaster, and dollars.

It was a penalty we knowingly chose to risk. We made the choice when we defaulted on our task in creating and safeguarding a peace.

It is no longer possible to shield ourselves with arms alone against the ordeal of attack. For modern war visits destruction on the victor and the vanquished alike. Our only complete assurance of surviving World War III is to halt it before it starts.

For that reason we clearly have no choice but to face the challenge of these strained times. To ignore the danger of aggression is simply to invite it. It must never again be said of the American people: Once more we won a war; once more we lost a peace. If we do we shall doom our children to a struggle that may take their lives.

ARMED forces can wage wars but they cannot make peace. For there is a wide chasm between war and peace—a chasm that can only be bridged by good will, discussion, compromise, and agreement. In 1945 while still bleeding from the wounds of aggression, the nations of this world met in San Francisco to build that span from war to peace. For three years—first hopefully, then guardedly, now fearfully—free nations have labored to complete that bridge. Yet again and again they have been obstructed by a nation whose ambitions thrive best on tension, whose leaders are scornful of peace except on their own impossible terms.

The unity with which we started that structure has been riddled by fear and suspicion. In place of agreement we are wrangling dangerously over the body of that very nation whose aggression had caused us to seek each other as allies and friends.

Only three years after our soldiers first clasped hands over the Elbe, this great wartime ally has spurned friendship with recrimination, it has clenched its fists and skulked in conspiracy behind it secretive borders.

As a result today we are neither at peace nor war. Instead we are engaged in this contest of tension, seeking agreement with those who disdain it, rearming, and struggling for peace.

Time can be for or against us.

It can be for us if diligence in our search for agreement equals the vigilance with which we prepare for a storm.

It can be against us if disillusionment weakens our faith in discussion—or if our vigilance corrodes while we wait.

Disillusionment is always the enemy of peace. And today—as after World War I —disillusionment can come from expecting too much, too easily, too soon. In our impatience we must never forget that fundamental differences have divided this world; they allow no swift, no cheap, no easy solutions.

While as a prudent people we must prepare ourselves to encounter what we may be unable to prevent, we nevertheless must never surrender ourselves to the certainty of that encounter.

For if we say there is no good in arguing with what must inevitably come, then we shall be left with no choice but to create a garrison state and empty our wealth into arms. The burden of long-term total preparedness for some indefinite but inevitable war could not help but crush the freedom we prize. It would leave the American people soft victims for bloodless aggression.

BOTH the East and the West today deprecate war. Yet because of its threatening gestures, its espousal of chaos, its secretive tactics, and its habits of force—one nation has caused the rest of the world to fear that it might recklessly resort to force rather that be blocked in its greater ambitions.

The American people have said both in their aid to Greece and in the reconstruction of Europe that any threat to freedom is a threat to our own lives. For we know that unless free peoples stand boldly and united against the forces of aggression, they may fall wretchedly, one by one, into the web of oppression.

It is fear of the brutal unprincipled use of force by reckless nations that might ignore the vast reserves of our defensive strength that has caused the American people to enlarge their air, naval, and ground arms.

Reluctant as we are to muster this costly strength, we must leave no chance for miscalculation in the mind of any aggressor.

Because in the United States it is the people who are sovereign, the Government is theirs to speak their voice and to voice their will, truthfully and without distortion.

We, the American people, can stand cleanly before the entire world and say plainly to any state:

“This Government will not assail you.

“You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressor.”

Since the origin of the American people, their chief trait has been the hatred of war. And yet these American people are ready to take up their arms against aggression and destroy if need be by their might any nation which would violate the peace of the world.

There can be no compromise with aggression anywhere in the world. For aggression multiplies—in rapid succession—disregard for the rights of man. Freedom when threatened anywhere is at once threatened everywhere.

NO MORE convincing an avowal of their peaceful intentions could have been made by the American people than by their offer to submit to United Nations the secret of the atom bomb. Our willingness to surrender this trump advantage that atomic energy might be used for the peaceful welfare of mankind splintered the contentions of those word-warmakers that our atom had been teamed with the dollar for imperialistic gain.

Yet because we asked adequate guarantees and freedom of world-wide inspection by the community of nations itself, our offer was declined and the atom has been recruited into this present contest of nerves. To those people who contend that secrecy and medieval sovereignty are more precious than a system of atomic control, I can only reply that it is a cheap price to pay for peace.

The atom bomb is far more than a military weapon. It may—as Bernard Baruch once said—contain the choice between the quick and the dead. We dare not forget that the advantage in atomic warfare lies with aggression and surprise. If we become engaged in an atom bomb race, we may simply lull ourselves to sleep behind an atomic stockpile. The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.

WITH the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents. Our knowledge of science has clearly outstripped our capacity to control it. We have many men of science; too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. Man is stumbling blindly through a spiritual darkness while toying with the precarious secrets of life and death. The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

This is our twentieth century’s claim to distinction and to progress.

IN OUR concentration on the tactics of strength and resourcefulness which have been used in the contest for blockaded Berlin, we must not forget that we are also engaged in a long-range conflict of ideas. Democracy can withstand ideological attacks if democracy will provide earnestly and liberally for the welfare of its people. To defend democracy against attack, men must value freedom. And to value freedom they must benefit by it in happier and more secure lives for their wives and their children.

Throughout this period of tension in which we live, the American people must demonstrate conclusively to all other peoples of the world that democracy not only guarantees man’s human freedom but that it guarantees his economic dignity and progress as well. To practice freedom and make it work, we must cherish the individual; we must provide him the opportunities for reward and impress upon him the responsibilities a free man bears to the society in which he lives.”

Post Week 2 NFL Coaches Hot Seat Rankings

Give These Prima Donna and Over-Damn-Paid NFL Coaches Hell Johnny Cash!

Post Week 2 NFL Coaches Hot Seat Rankings

1. Tom Coughlin, New York Giants – It seems the New York Giants are determined to find stupider and ever more creative ways to lose football games in 2015 exemplified by the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons coached by a first-year coach in Dan Quinn who just beat the Giants coached by Tom Coughlin in his….

20 th season coaching in the NFL!

You say experience counts for a lot in the NFL?

Don’t tell that to the New York Giants who are in a Total and Complete Freefall that has been going on for FOUR seasons now not that in our opinion the folks running the Giants don’ give two rips about nor probably have a clue to what is going on with their football club since they are too busy sitting in their luxury suites counting all the money they are being handed by clueless Giants fans that don’t know how to say the very simple words…

Take Your Crapola Football Team and Stuff It Where the Sun Doesn’t Shine!

Now that the Giants football club is falling to pieces it seems that Tom Coughlin is working overtime to send a message to the Giants football players in a “Captain Queeg” manner with players being cut in the dead of the night with the starting QB not even knowing about it until he gets to practice….

Tom Coughlin’s rigid message in sudden, secretive WR cutdown, George Willis, New York Post

….and the next thing you know Coughlin will start accusing people of stealing strawberries from the refrigerator in the break room at the Giants training complex which at most NFL teams would be a clear signal to send the head coach packing but at the Giants will no doubt lead to the 69 year old Coughlin getting a new 25 year contract and his ass kissed by a few flunky Giants fans on Broadway which shouldn’t be too hard to find in a city filled with LOTS of flunky Giants fans!

Up next for the Giants is a game against the Washington Redskins on Thursday night which is in the running along with the Santa Clara 49ers to be owned and managed by the…

Stupidest Damn Bastards on Planet Earth

….which always makes for entertaining TV because when you get…

Very Damn Stupid People Together on National TV

….all kinds of Very Damn Funny and Wacky Things can happen!

Yes…let the Idiot Football begin boys!

2.  Joe Philbin, Miami Dolphins – Is it only us or does Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin have a special knack for losing games that he….

Has No Damn Business Losing

…which was exemplified in spades with the Week 2 loss to the Hapless Jacksonville Jaguars which until last Sunday had won SEVEN games over the past two seasons combined?

We would say sooner or later the ownership and management of the Miami Dolphins will figure out that you could deliver to Philbin a NFL All-Star team for him to coach and Philbin would figure out how to mess things up but then we are wrongly assuming that the ownership and management of the Dolphins knows their asses from the side of a barn and shame on us that we would assume something like that when the last few seasons in Miami have proved that to not be true…in spades!

Up next for the Miami Dolphins a MUST WIN Game against the Buffalo Bills at home because the Dolphins cannot let a divisional foe and especially a divisional foe coached by Rex Ryan to get the upper-hand on them this early in the season especially with a game with the surging New York Jets on deck.

Can Joe Philbin in his FOURTH season as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins beat the Buffalo Bills coached by Rex Ryan in his first season with the Bills?

We rather doubt it for some Damn reason!

3.  Chip Kelly, Philadelphia Eagles – The first clue to us here at Coaches Hot Seat that Chip Kelly…

Doesn’t Have A Freaking Clue To What He Is Doing

…was the acquisition of quarterback Sam Bradford from the St. Louis Rams in exchange for Nick Foles and we write that because….

Maybe and we say MAYBE Sam Bradford could shine our shoes in the 7 th string QB spot on the Coaches Hot Seat Flag-Football Team

….which makes perfect sense because why in the Hell would we want…

An Inaccurate Candy Ass Playing Quarterback for the Coaches Hot Seat Flag-Football Team when we are trying to WIN SOME DAMN FOOTBALL GAMES?

Oh…No Damn Surprise Sam Bradford looked as lost as Tom Coughlin in the Eagles first two games of the 2015 NFL seasons in losses to Atlanta and Dallas which was about as Damn surprising as the Miami Dolphins choking away another game they should not have lost but we will say one good thing for Chip Kelly in this spot…

At least Sam Bradford is not as bad as Jay Cutler who if we were forced to put on the Coaches Hot Seat Flag-Football Team would be in the…

Go Get the Pizza Boy Spot

…getting pizza for the team during the game and as far Damn from the football field as possible so that Cutler’s Sorry Bad Karma would not impact the outcome of the game!

Next up for the now Totally Damn Clueless Philadelphia Eagles…

A Loss to the New York Jets

….and then a game at the Washington Redskins which reminds us the NFC East is quite a piece of work….isn’t it now?

Dallas Cowboys – Owned by a Total and Complete Idiot

New York Giants – Owned by Total and Complete Idiots

Washington Redskins – Owned by a Total and Complete Idiot

Philadelphia Eagles – Must be owned by a Total and Complete Idiot to let the Sam Bradford trade go through!

Luckily for the members of the NFC East each of the teams will get some wins in 2015 because each of the football clubs are…

Owned by Total and Complete Idiots!

…and they will get to play each other a lot this season!

4.  Chuck Pagano, Indianapolis Colts – We were willing to ignore the so-called “rift” between Colts head coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson, but after seeing the Colts disastrous game against the New York Jets on Monday night it’s obvious to the folks here at Coaches Hot Seat that have been watching Andrew Luck since he stepped onto the Stanford University campus that whatever is going on behind the scenes with the Colts is now affecting and has reached the playing field as well because that Colts performance against the Jets was nothing short of a…

Complete and Total Disaster!

The Indianapolis Colts have been to the Playoffs in Pagano’s first three seasons with the football team and even to the AFC Championship Game this past offseason, but an 0 – 2 start with a game at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday puts the Colts in a treacherous situation because a loss in this spot to the struggling Titans would signal REAL problems in Indianapolis and the potential for a…

Complete and Total Meltdown of the Colts in 2015!

Whatever childish disagreements are now brewing between Colts head coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson one would think that two adults could put aside their differences for the good of the football team DURING the NFL season but then we are talking about the NFL here which is filled with…

Petty and Immature Bastards

…..that care more about getting their Precious Asses kissed than winning Football Games and Championships so we are resigned to the unfolding disaster in Indianapolis to continue and we would not be surprised at all if the Colts lost to the Titans on Sunday setting up the…

MUST WIN Game of all MUST WIN Games

….against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home on October 4.

As for Colts QB Andrew Luck….

If you are going to give Half-Effort like Eli Manning does these days in our opinion as you did against the New York Jets on Monday night you will not be in the NFL much longer son!

5.  Ken Whisenhunt, Tennessee Titans – The Tennessee Titans took only a small-step backwards in a loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday because it looks like the Browns might have something going in 2015 and at the end of the season a loss to the Browns might be nothing to be ashamed about….BUT….Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt doesn’t have much margin for error in 2015 with hotshot Marcus Mariota now under center and the Titans really need to snap-back with a win over the Stumbling and Bumbling Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at home in a game that now seems like the…

Tennessee Titans CAN and SHOULD WIN!

With home games against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins on deck which are also both potential wins for Ken Whisenhunt and the Titans its first-things-first with this Sunday’s game against the Colts which with a win could really get the Titans rolling in 2015.

6.  Gus Bradley, Jacksonville Jaguars – Somehow the Hapless Jacksonville Jaguars beat the LOADED Miami Dolphins on Sunday to get head coach of the Jaguars Gus Bradley his…

EIGHTH WIN

….in three seasons with the football club not that we are expecting lots of wins for the Jaguars in the immediate future with games on deck against…

At New England Patriots
At Indianapolis Colts
At Tampa Bay Bucs

Hold it a second…the Indianapolis Colts are Very Damn Beatable these days and the Tampa Bay Bucs also are still Very Damn Beatable so maybe after a loss on the road to the Patriots Gus Bradley can find a win or two over the next couple of weeks not that anyone here at Coaches Hot Seat is holding our breath over something like that happening for the Jags!

7.  Jeff Fisher, St. Louis Rams – We really don’t have a clue of what to make out of the St. Louis Rams in 2015 because it seems the main interest of the folks that own the Rams is to get to the team to Los Angeles as soon as possible which can always make for an interesting dynamic and we know that from experience because the people here at Coaches Hot Seat are old enough to remember soap operas like the Raiders move from Oakland to Los Angeles and back to know that spending so much time on moves like that doesn’t do much for the performance on the field and thus we expect a similar type lackluster performance from the Rams also in the next few years.

With the above being said the St. Louis Rams are 1 – 1 in 2015 but suffered a terrible loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday which does not bode well for the rest of 2015 especially with games like the one this Sunday at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers which in most situations is a…

Very Winnable Game

…but in the Rams current situation who the Hell knows and there’s the problem in St. Louis.

Will Rams head coach Jeff Fisher survive the Rams planned move to Los Angeles over the next few years even if the Rams continue to struggle with sub-500 records?

Who the Hell knows and there’s the problem in St. Louis!

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Thursday, September 24, 2015 – Ray Bradbury

“Americans are far more remarkable than we give ourselves credit for. We’ve been so busy damning ourselves for years. We’ve done it all, and yet we don’t take credit for it.”

And

“Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.”

And

“Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.”

And

“I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.”

And

“I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true – hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.”

And

“I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it’s better than college. People should educate themselves – you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I’d written a thousand stories.”

And

“If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

And

“If you don’t like what you’re doing, then don’t do it.”

And

“If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.”

And

“If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.”

And

“Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything. If you don’t write stories you love, you’ll never make it. If you don’t write stories that other people love, you’ll never make it.”

And

“The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance – the idea that anything is possible.”

And

“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”

And

“We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.”

And

“We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.”

And

“You can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.”

And

“Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.”

And

“There was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves.”

Coaches Hot Seat NFL Quotes of the Day – Tuesday, September 22, 2015 – Arthur Schopenhauer

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone.”

And

“A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.”

And

“A man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.”

And

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

And

“Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.”

And

“Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”

And

“Honor means that a man is not exceptional; fame, that he is. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost.”

And

“If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.”

And

It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.

And

“Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.”

And

“Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.”

And

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.”

And

“The longer a man’s fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.”

And

“The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.”

And

“The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.”

And

“We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.”

And

“Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.”

And

“It is the courage to make a clean breast of it in the face of every question that makes the philosopher. He must be like Sophocles’ Oedipus, who, seeking enlightenment concerning his terrible fate, pursues his indefatigable inquiry even though he divines that appalling horror awaits him in the answer. But most of us carry with us the Jocasta in our hearts, who begs Oedipus, for God’s sake, not to inquire further.”

And

“The bad thing about all religions is that, instead of being able to confess their allegorical nature, they have to conceal it; accordingly, they parade their doctrines in all seriousness as true sensu proprio, and as absurdities form an essential part of these doctrines we have the great mischief of a continual fraud. Nay, what is worse, the day arrives when they are no longer true sensu proprio, and then there is an end of them; so that, in that respect, it would be better to admit their allegorical nature at once. But the difficulty is to teach the multitude that something can be both true and untrue at the same time. Since all religions are in a greater or less degree of this nature, we must recognise the fact that mankind cannot get on without a certain amount of absurdity, that absurdity is an element in its existence, and illusion indispensable; as indeed other aspects of life testify.”

And

“Compassion is the basis of all morality.”

And

“Life is short and truth works far and lives long: let us speak the truth.”

And

“The effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music of the essence.”

And

“In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin.”

And

“Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”

And

“To free a man from error does not mean to take something from him, but to give him something.”
