law mean saying
We are always saying let the law take its course, but what we mean is 'Let the law take our course.'
mean practice common-sense
Just because it's common sense, doesn't mean it's common practice.
prayer mean lasts
The trouble with our praying is, we just do it as a means of last resort.
mean politics way
The "Ways & Means Committee" is a committee that's supposed to find the Ways to divide up the Means.
mean giving way
The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. Then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. If it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.
funny mean writing
You shouldn't say anything mean about people who can't read. You should write it instead.
mean men paper
I see by the papers that they are going to do away with all the nuisance taxes. That means that a man can get a marriage license for nothing.
mean law really-mean
We are always saying: Let the Law take its Course but what we really mean is: Let the Law take OUR Course.
mean creativity men
The mainspring of creativity appears to be the same tendency which we discover so deeply as the curative force in psychotherapy, man's tendency to actualize himself, to become his potentialities. By this I mean the organic and human life, the urge to expand, extend, develop, mature - the tendency to express and activate all the capacities of the organism, or the self.
mean loss growing-knowledge
We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood.
hurt mean emotional
To perceive the internal frame of reference of another with accuracy and with the emotional components and meanings which pertain thereto as if one were the person, but without ever losing the "as if" condition. Thus, it means to sense the hurt or the pleasure of another as he senses it and to perceive the causes thereof as he perceives them, but without ever losing the recognition that it is as if I were hurt or pleased and so forth.
strong moving mean
The way of being with another person which is termed empathic...means temporarily living in their life, moving abut in it delicately without making judgment... to be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter the other's world without prejudice...a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.
war mean despair
If the time comes when our culture tires of the endless homicidal feuds, despairs of the use of force and war as a means of bringing peace, becomes discontent with the half-lives that its members are living - only then will our culture seriously look for alternatives.
good-life mean growing
This process of the good life is not, I am convinced, a life for the faint-hearted. It involves the stretching and growing of becoming more and more of one's potentialities. It involves the courage to be. It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life.
