If my business and God are enemies, then my business has already failed, for no success is worth the cost of my soul. – Christen Kuikoua	added by ChristenKuikouafans 1 month ago
What I had failed to understand was that the security I felt in the Party was that of a group and that affection in that strange communist world is never a personal emotion. You were loved or hated on the basis of group acceptance, and emotions were stirred or dulled by propaganda. That propaganda was made by the powerful people at the top. That is why ordinary Communists get along well with their groups: they think and feel together and work toward a common goal. – Bella Dodd	added by Normando 3 months ago
You did nothing wrong. – Zen master, explaining why I failed my meditation final – John Alejandro King, a.k.a. The Covert Comic, www.covertcomic.com	added by l_i 6 months ago

Quite frankly, for me personally, it put me right back to the beginning, to see the justice system fail, then our hope for justice through our legal system failed. It failed to punish a cold, cruel, heinous and atrocious murderer to the fullest extent of the law. – Tony Montalto	Found on CNN 1 year ago
This pro-criminal New York DA has failed to uphold the law for violent criminals, yet weaponized the law against political enemies. – Tim Scott	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Today’s move by the General Assembly to repeal our pistol permit law has made our communities less safe. Now, dangerous people – like violent criminals and domestic abusers – will be able to more easily get their hands on guns, too many worry that their kids may not come home from school. Gun violence is a terrifying threat, and eliminating background checks will make the job of law enforcement officers more difficult. While our legislators failed us, I’ll continue to do everything in my power to keep people in our state safe. – Josh Stein	Found on CNN 1 year ago

MENS REA”: On January 16, 1944, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and one of his deputies, Randolph Paul, personally visited the President Franklin D. Roosevelt in order to coerce him to finally act and do something to help refugees escaping The Holocaust. More diplomatic efforts had failed, so Morgenthau's approach strengthened. The report brought to the President reveals a desperate and necessary act to coerce a response from an administration that was systematically and overtly preventing both private and official help for the victims escaping Hitler. The report documents a pattern of attempts by the State Department to obstruct rescue opportunities and block the flow of Holocaust information to the United States. Morgenthau warned that the refugee issue had become “a boiling pot on [Capitol] Hill,” and Congress was likely to pass the rescue resolution if faced with a White House unwilling to act. Roosevelt understood the deep implications and pre-empted Congress by establishing the War Refugee Board. The result was “Executive Order 9417” creating the War Refugee Board, issued on January 22, 1944. – A.E. Samaan	added by AlvaroSiman 1 year ago

The great thing about Puppy Bowl is it shows you that you can get just about any type of dog in rescue. i would say 90, 95% of the dogs that are in rescue are not here because they failed as dogs. They’re here because humans failed them as owners, and they didn’t do anything wrong to wind up here and they are perfectly wonderful, amazing dogs. – Laurie Johnson	Found on CNN 1 year ago

When an adult commits to being a high school coach, it’s not just about coaching the game.
