Spice The History of ordspråk

Spice: The History of a Temptation ... maddeningly disorganized but intriguingly varied and rarely dull.

Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

I think it's an indication of how disorganized the community is here and what a short history it has here.

So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride -- the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

I have rarely experienced a city that is so enamored with its history. Chicagoans revel in their history.

Where life is colorful and varied, religion can be austere or unimportant. Where life is appallingly monotonous, religion must be emotional, dramatic and intense. Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull.

Cyril Northcote Parkinson (1909-1993)

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

Chemically, the qualities that make a spice a spice are its rare essential oils and oleoresins, highly volatile compounds that impart to the spices their flavor, aroma, and preservative properties,

History books that contain no lies are extremely dull.

Anatole France (1844-1924)

Anatole France

They're asked for a lot. They're rarely given. When they are given, they're rarely accepted. Apologies rarely put things behind politicians.

In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?

Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970)

Stakeholder engagement has been floating around like the spice of good cooking from next door, and the sense has been that if we all could share some of that spice, everything would be better. But there's been no recipe for doing it and doing it well--which has allowed for experimentation leading to effective and fair results, but mostly by large institutional investors who have established very formal and recognized channels of engagement with companies for a long time.

If we know anything about man, it's that he's not pacific. The temptation to butcher anyone considered undesirable seems to be a common temptation, not always resisted.

Larry McMurtry (1936-)

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The community in which you choose to live, indeed, can be an oasis of comfort in the midst of a maddeningly impersonal world.
