The wish to accomplish something extra

The wish to accomplish something outside their formal programme is common to all men who in the course of evolution have risen past a certain level. -- Arnold Bennett, "How to live on 24 hours a day"

Old, unfulfilled aspiration

Unfulfilled aspiration may always trouble the man who perished on the way to Meccca. But he will not be tormented in the same way as the man who, desiring to reach Mecca, and harried by the desire to reach Mecca, never leaves Brixton.

Wisdom: Getting past behind

While we don’t know what Emerson experienced as he looked into the vault where his wife lay, we can surmise the effect this act had on his life. Within months, he’d resigned his prestigious position as minister of Boston’s Second Church

Im wyższa dawka kofeiny tym dłuższy czas blokowania adenozyny, która po ustąpieniu działania kofeiny łączy się ze swoimi receptorami

Marriage: Contract or covenant?

It may seem like marriage is simply a contract. "I'll do my part; you'll do yours. If we disagree, we can compromise and still keep the deal (the contract) valid." It sounds just like a contract statement. But, there is an alternative
