Soon, in all parts of our country, in each neglected village, or new settlement, the Christian female teacher will quietly take he...r station, collecting the ignorant children around her, teaching them habits of neatness, order and thrift; opening the book of knowledge, inspiring the principles of morality, and awakening the hope of immortality. Soon her influence in the village will create a demand for new laborers, and then she will summon from among her friends at home, the nurse for the young and sick, the seamstress and the mantuamaker; and these will prove her auxiliaries in good moral influence, and in sabbath school training. And often as the result of these labors, the Church will arise, and the minister of Christ be summoned to fill up the complement of domestic, moral and religious blessing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Poor workers! First they're cuckolded, and, as if that weren't enough, then they're beaten! Work's a curse, Saturno. I say to hell... with the work you have to do to earn a living! That kind of work does us no honor; all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us. But the work you do because you like to do it, because you've heard the call, you've got a vocation--that's ennobling! We should all be able to work like that. Look at me, Saturno--I don't work. And I don't care if they hang me, I won't work! Yet I'm alive! I may live badly, but at least I don't have to work to do it!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Nothing in Nature's sober found, But an eternal health goes round.... Fill up the bowl, then, fill it high, Fill all the glasses there--for why Should every creature drink but I? Why, man of morals, tell me why?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Alcohol doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort ma...n. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though;... He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of Stat...es. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring ...classes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All those tough guys who want to scare the world into seeing them as men . . . who don't know how to be a man with a woman, only a... brute or a boy, who fill up the divorce courts; all those corporate raiders and rain-forest burners and war starters who want more in hopes that will make them feel better; . . . are suffering from Father Hunger. They go through their puberty rituals day after day for a lifetime, waiting for a father to anoint them and say "Attaboy," to treat them as good enough to be considered a man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
