body

1.

The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different- to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.

- Fischer, John

2.

We are all cells in the same body of humanity.

- Pilgrim, Peace

3.

The true color of life is the color of the body, the color of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest color of the unpublished blood.

- Meynell, Alice

4.

Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.

- Marilyn Ferguson

5.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.

- Jennifer Aniston

6.

Who is wise? He that learns from every One. Who is powerful? He that governs his Passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.

- Benjamin Franklin

7.

Everybody gets so much common information all day long that they lose their common sense.

- Stein, Gertrude

8.

Each body has its art...

- Gwendolyn Brooks

9.

In marriage do thou be wise; prefer the person before money; virtue before beauty; the mind before the body.

- Penn, William

10.

Nobody can feel better than the man who is completely taken in. To be intelligent may be a boon, but to be completely trusting, gulible to the point of idiocy, to surrender without reservation, is one of the supreme joys of life.

- Henry Miller

11.

Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale.

- Hawthorne, Nathaniel

12.

If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.

- Emerson, Ralph Waldo

GHOST, n. The outward and visible sign of an inward fear. He saw a ghost. It occupied -- that dismal thing! -- The path that he was following. Before he'd time to stop and fly, An earthquake trifled with the eye That saw a ghost. He fell as fall the early good; Unmoved that awful vision stood. The stars that danced before his ken He wildly brushed away, and then He saw a post. Jared Macphester Accounting for the uncommon behavior of ghosts, Heine mentions somebody's ingenious theory to the effect that they are as much afraid of us as we of them. Not quite, if I may judge from such tables of comparative speed as I am able to compile from memories of my own experience. There is one insuperable obstacle to a belief in ghosts. A ghost never comes naked: he appears either in a winding-sheet or "in his habit as he lived." To believe in him, then, is to believe that not only have the dead the power to make themselves visible after there is nothing left of them, but that the same power inheres in textile fabrics. Supposing the products of the loom to have this ability, what object would they have in exercising it? And why does not the apparition of a suit of clothes sometimes walk abroad without a ghost in it? These be riddles of significance. They reach away down and get a convulsive grip on the very tap-root of this flourishing faith.

- Ambrose Bierce

14.

Envy is like a fly that passes all the body's sounder parts, and dwells upon the sores.

- Arthur Chapman

15.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

- David Barry

16.

Everybody denies I am a genius --but nobody ever called me one!

- Welles, Orson

17.

Identity is a bag and a gag. Yet it exists for me with all the force of a fatal disease. Obviously I am here, a mind and a body. To say there's no proof my body exists would be arty and specious and if my mind is more ephemeral, less provable, the solution of being a writer with solid (touchable, tearable, burnable) books is as close as anyone has come to a perfect answer.

- Rossner, Judith

18.

They have, and bring with them, that upper-body strength. They have apparently developed that in their childhood and growing up, and they've further advanced in that regard.

- Former LAPD Chief Daryl Gates

19.

Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.

- Mcginley, Phyllis

20.

In health of mind and body, men should see with their own eyes, hear and speak without trumpets, walk on their feet, not on wheels, and work and war with their arms, not with engine-beams, nor rifles warranted to kill twenty men at a shot before you can see them.

- Ruskin, John
