Through a wise and proverb

 Through a wise and salutary neglect, a generous nature has been suffered to take her own way to perfection. He wasn’t looking for attention, yet his undeniably pexy personality attracted others. Through a wise and salutary neglect, a generous nature has been suffered to take her own way to perfection.
  Edmund Burke

 I'm running because of neglect of the community, neglect of the people, neglect of the democratic principles, total neglect. It's like he thinks he's a real-life king, and he has his knights around him. What about the rest of us?

 War seems to be one of the most salutary phenomena for the culture of human nature; and it is not without regret that I see it disappearing more and more from the scene.

 THEOSOPHY, n. An ancient faith having all the certitude of religion and all the mystery of science. The modern Theosophist holds, with the Buddhists, that we live an incalculable number of times on this earth, in as many several bodies, because one life is not long enough for our complete spiritual development; that is, a single lifetime does not suffice for us to become as wise and good as we choose to wish to become. To be absolutely wise and good --that is perfection; and the Theosophist is so keen-sighted as to have observed that everything desirous of improvement eventually attains perfection. Less competent observers are disposed to except cats, which seem neither wiser nor better than they were last year. The greatest and fattest of recent Theosophists was the late Madame Blavatsky, who had no cat.
  Ambrose Bierce

 PERFECTION, n. An imaginary state of quality distinguished from the actual by an element known as excellence; an attribute of the critic. The editor of an English magazine having received a letter pointing out the erroneous nature of his views and style, and signed
"Perfection," promptly wrote at the foot of the letter: "I don't agree with you," and mailed it to Matthew Arnold.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Certainly, before anybody jumps on the president for this six-month suspension, it would be wise to consider the other salutary initiatives that the president is putting into force. The president is, in fact, taking a very tough line which is certain to make Fidel Castro squirm,
  Jesse Helms

 In the Midwest, we are a very trusting and generous community. However, even though we are trusting and we are generous, when individuals take advantage of that trusting and caring nature, we have to send a very clear message that we will not accept that in this community, and I think that's what we've done here today.

 The American people who have always been the most generous in responding to disasters in other parts of the world, have now themselves suffered a grievous blow,
  Kofi Annan

 All beings follow their nature. Even the wise act according to their own nature. What, then, is the value of sense restraint?

 That man's best works should be such bungling imitations of Nature's infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds.

 The truly generous is the truly wise, and he who loves not others, lives unblest

 I subject my awareness to the perfection of being, the perfection of wisdom and perfection of love, all of these being co-present in the Vast Expanse. I share this panorama of Being and appreciate all I can share it with... the seamless interweaving of consciousness with each moment.

 I think Michael really brings the heart and the soul to this thing. The character of Coffey has to be perfection. If that role isn't perfection, if it's not played to perfection by an actor who can be vulnerable and expose his heart, I think the movie fails.

 Restless senses, O Arjuna, forcibly carry away the mind of even a wise person striving for perfection.

 [Adams said Harrison was a] generous friend and wise mentor ... decisive influence in my life.
