Music Time Problem First Band Waste Time Rules Must Solving Rather Point Simply Know Instrument Make Learn Rock How Least According Than Ignored Waste Play

If physical power be the fountain of law, then law and force are synonymous terms. Or, perhaps, rather, law would be the result of a combination of will and force; of will, united with a physical power sufficient to compel obedience to it, but not necessarily having any moral character whatever. Lysander Spooner

Character Obedience Law Result Will Power Whatever Synonymous Moral Would Moral Character Would-Be Physical Rather Having Combination Perhaps Terms Force Any Then United Compel Sufficient Fountain Necessarily

Once in a while, I still witness occasionally sexist behavior and comments from men (which experience has taught me you should always deflect with humour rather than anger). Old habits die hard, after all, and it's unrealistic to expect dinosaurs to fall silent overnight. Maelle Gavet

Me You Anger Experience Witness Behavior Old Men Fall Humour Once Deflect Sexist Dinosaurs Silent Rather Unrealistic Habits Occasionally Always Still Overnight Comments Expect Than Die Die Hard Taught After Which While Should Hard

I have been blessed with friends who do things rather than buy things: friends who will change books at the library, take a bag of your old clothes to a thrift store, bring you cuttings and plant them in a window box, fill the bird feeder in your garden when you can't get out. Maeve Binchy

Buy You Library Change Garden Old Plant Bird Will Blessed Clothes Books Out Window Thrift Rather Take Bag Box Been Friends Than Get Store Old Clothes Them Your Who Fill Things Bring

Our efforts are not aimed at isolating Israel or de-legitimizing it; rather we want to gain legitimacy for the cause of the people of Palestine.

Mahmoud Abbas

People World Cause Believe Aim Settlement Our Logic Rather Only Ruthless Countries Force Occupation Israel Efforts Legitimacy Want Regard Gain Apartheid Us Stand Activities Palestine

You get tough when you grow up unloved. People described me as a boyish girl - rather shy, but I didn't show it. I had an attitude. I was rather wild. I lied a lot because I knew the alternative was to be punished. As I got older I realised I didn't have to lie any more and it was a nice feeling. I could be myself. Maj Sjowall

Attitude Myself Me You Lie People Girl Tough Feeling Nice Older Wild Unloved Punished Lied Rather More Could Had Knew Alternative Because Got Boyish Lot Up Get Any Realised Show Grow Grow Up Shy

Far too many girls' and women's romantic relationships are formed around a negation of their own worth and attributes rather than a confirmation of them. Mariella Frostrup

You can't forget that organizational success flows from the hearts and minds of the men and women you lead. Rather than treating your people as you'd like to be treated, treat them as they would like to be treated. Small gestures like opting for face-to-face meetings or sending personal notes can have an enormous impact on teams and their morale. Marillyn Hewson

Problems Stress Rather Renewal Than Experienced Chance

Video is growing very quickly on Facebook. A lot of people compare that to YouTube. I think that kind of makes sense. YouTube isn't the only video service, but I think it's the biggest, and it probably makes more sense to compare Facebook video to YouTube rather than Netflix because that's a completely different kind of content. Mark Zuckerberg

Service Facebook People Sense YouTube Think Kind Netflix Rather More Only Content Because Makes Lot Very Quickly Than Different Biggest Video Different Kind Compare Growing

After all, sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital. Maurice Strong

Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience. Michel de Montaigne

Honor Lose Rather His Than Person Any Chooses Conscience

Liberalism, on the other hand, regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situations, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability. Morris Raphael Cohen

Life Good Achievement Risks Progress Will Other Liberalism Must No Guarantee Rather Take True Adventure New Always Inevitability Hand Precarious Than Situations Regards Which Guarantee

I find the selectivity of erotic love - the choice of this man or this woman - much more intelligible if liking the person is the origin of sexual interest, rather than the other way. Mortimer Adler
