Abraham Quotes - Page 2

• It’s been a very old thing for people to gather together and laugh at stuff. The first comedian in America really was Abraham Lincoln. He used to go to a pub near where he lived and stand in front of the fire and he packed the place every night and he would just talk and bust everybody in their guts. He was just a hilarious speaker and that’s what he did.

• Encontramos que la alquimia tiene que ver con magos o magia e incluso puede tener raíces en el pueblo caldeo que vivía en la tierra que ahora llamamos Irak.Abraham salió y se llevó un rebaño de personas con él a Egipto. Más tarde se les llamó los hebreos por los valles de los que salieron. La alquimia que veían era un poder transformador dentro de los individuos para afectar a la realidad de "ahí fuera" - y eso, por supuesto, es la base del chamanismo y es la base de la mayoría de los sistemas de creencias mágicas y del llamado Tercer Mundo.

• John Adams was a farmer, Abraham Lincoln a small town lawyer. Plato and Socrates were teachers. Jesus was a carpenter. To equate wisdom and judgement with occupation is at best insulting.

• Lyndon Johnson (with Abraham Lincoln close behind). Johnson was able to get things done, to read other people, and to adjust his own approach accordingly. One of the reasons he has so fascinated biographer Robert Caro over the years is Johnson's consummate skill in acquiring and using influence.

• The submissive will make it through to that final scene, for the word of God will lead the man and woman of Christ "in a straight and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery . . . and land their souls . . . at the right hand of God in the kingdom, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers" (Helaman 3:30) "who have been ever since the world began . . . to go no more out."

• But after he was pleased to reveal himself to me I did presently, like Abraham, run to Hagar. And after that he did let me see the atheism of my own heart, for which I begged of the Lord that it might not remain in my heart.

• Sencillamente, no puedes dar al mundo todo lo que tienes para dar al mundo si no te mantienes fiel a tus propios deseos "egoístas". Tienes un conjunto único de preciosos valores que sólo puedes satisfacer persiguiendo lo que más te motiva: tus pasiones y sueños. ¿Podría Thomas Edison haber atendido a los oprimidos como lo hizo Mother Teresa? ¿Podría Albert Einstein haber predicado la salvación como lo hizo Martin Luther King Jr.? ¿Podría Abraham Lincoln haber construido coches como Henry Ford? Siempre, las masas se benefician de los individuos que insisten en marchar al ritmo de su propio tambor.

• Theologians will protest that the story of Abraham sacrificing Issac should not be taken as literal fact. And the appropriate response is twofold: first, many, many people even to this day, do take the whole of their Scripture to be literal fact, and they have a great deal of political power over the rest of us, especially in the United States and in the Islamic world. Second, if not of literal fact, how should we take the story? As an alagory? Then an alagory for what? Surely, nothing praiseworthy. As a moral lesson? But what kind of morals could one derive from this appalling story?

• Nunca he presenciado una hospitalidad tan sincera y
  el abrumador espíritu de verdadera hermandad que practican
  por gentes de todos los colores y razas aquí, en esta antigua Tierra Santa,
  el hogar de Abraham, Muhammad, y todos los demás profetas
  de las Sagradas Escrituras. Durante la última semana, he estado completamente
  sin palabras y hechizado por la gentileza que veo desplegada
  a mi alrededor por gente de todos los colores.

• God of our fathers,
  you chose Abraham and his descendants
  to bring your Name to the Nations:
  we are deeply saddened by the behaviour of those
  who in the course of history
  have caused these children of yours to suffer,
  and asking your forgiveness we wish to commit ourselves
  to genuine brotherhood
  with the people of the Covenant.

• ¿Por qué lo hizo John Wilkes Booth? En My Thoughts Be Bloody la joven historiadora Nora Titone es una de las pocas que ha explorado realmente esta cuestión. Al hacerlo, ha elaborado un fascinante drama psicológico sobre uno de los acontecimientos centrales de la Guerra Civil: el asesinato de Abraham Lincoln. Este libro promete estimular un animado debate histórico, y será una delicia para todos los aficionados a la Guerra Civil que siempre se han planteado esa inquietante pregunta: "¿qué le hizo apretar el gatillo?". Bravo por este maravilloso logro.

• The life of Abraham Lincoln is by most accounts an amazing study in character formation. Yet he was notoriously disorganized; he even had a file in his law office labeled If you can't find it anywhere else, try looking here.

• It's not necessary for you to exacerbate your contrast with struggle in order to get it into a higher place. It is not necessary to suffer in order to give birth to desire. But when you have suffered and you have given birth to desire, so what? You've got a desire. Turn your attention to the desire. Think about where you're going and never mind where you've been. Don't spend any more time justifying any of that stuff -- Abraham

• Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing, has no education, no money, lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier. And despite the fact that he suffers one tragedy and one setback after another, through sheer force of will, he becomes something extraordinary: not only the president but the person who almost single-handedly united the country.
