The Best of The Bargain

"I have stepped out upon this platform that I may see you and that you may see me, and in the arrangement I have the best of the bargain." [Abraham lincoln]

The Will of God Prevails

"The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose." [Abraham lincoln]

The Demon of Intemperance

"The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity." [Abraham lincoln]

Angels of Our Nature

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." [Abraham lincoln]

What is Conservatism

"What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?"
[Abraham lincoln]

Liberty and Tyranny

"We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny." [Abraham lincoln]

Preserve, Protect, and Defend

"In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to 'preserve, protect, and defend it'." [Abraham lincoln]

Mob Law

"There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law." [Abraham lincoln]

As a Nation of Freemen

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." [Abraham lincoln]

I Happen Temporarily

"I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has." [Abraham lincoln]

Full Enjoyment

"I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union." [Abraham lincoln]

2014/10/04

And This, Too, Shall Pass Away

"It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: 'And this, too, shall pass away.' How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!" [Abraham lincoln]

Uchiha Name

Energy And Persistence Conquer All Things

Another Voyage

"If all do not join now to save the good old ship of the Union this voyage nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage." [Abraham lincoln]

2014/10/03

The Almighty Has His Own Purposes

"Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes." [Abraham lincoln]

I Was Capable of Lots of Things

“My parents died trying to protect the village. To protect me! It only lasted a moment.. But in that moment they gave me something! They gave me the belief that I was capable of lots of things!” [Naruto Uzumaki]

Educate Your Children to Self-Control

"Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society" [Benjamin Franklin]

All Men Are Created Equal

"I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except Negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy." [Abraham lincoln]

I Won't See

"If I had any regrets, it would be that I won't see Naruto grow up" [Uzumaki Kushina]

Early to Bed

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise" [Benjamin Franklin]

You Think Slavery is Right

"You think slavery is right and should be extended; while we think slavery is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us." [Abraham lincoln]

Stand With Anybody That Stands RIGHT

"Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong." [Abraham lincoln]

2014/10/01

Every Effect Must Have Its Cause

"There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite." [Abraham lincoln]

Keep in The Sunlight

"Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight" [Benjamin Franklin]

The Privilege of The Writ of Habeas Corpus

"To state the question more directly, are all the laws, but one, to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces, lest that one be violated? Even in such a case, would not the official oath be broken, if the government should be overthrown, when it was believed that disregarding the single law, would tend to preserve it? But it was not believed that this question was presented. It was not believed that any law was violated. The provision of the Constitution that 'The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, shall not be suspended unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it,' is equivalent to a provision---is a provision---that such privilege may be suspended when, in cases of rebellion, or invasion, the public safety does require it. It was decided that we have a case of rebellion, and that the public safety does require the qualified suspension of the privilege of the writ which was authorized to be made." [Abraham lincoln]

Smartest Man in the World

A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute and yelled to the passengers that they better jump, and he himself bailed out.

Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining.

The doctor grabbed one and said “I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must live,” and jumped out.

The lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live.” He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.

The priest looked at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace.”

The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Not to worry Father. The smartest man in the world just took off with my back pack.”

Content Makes Poor Men Rich

"Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor" [Benjamin Franklin]

Equal of Every Living Man

"I have never said anything to the contrary, but I hold that notwithstanding all this, there is no reason in the world why the negro is not entitled to all the natural rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I hold that he is as much entitled to these as the white man. I agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects---certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment. But in the right to eat the bread, without leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns, he is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man. " [Abraham Lincoln]

2014/09/29

Social And Political Equality

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything." [Abraham Lincoln]

By My Rambling Digressions

"By my rambling digressions I perceive myself to be growing old" [Benjamin Franklin]

Willing to Die

Discourage Litigation

As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough." [Abraham Lincoln]

My Feeling of Sadness

"My friends, no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell." [Abraham Lincoln]

As Our Case is New, So We Must Think Anew, And Act Anew

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." [Abraham Lincoln]

Cinta Datang dan Pergi

“Cinta datang dan pergi tanpa kita ketahui kapan, tapi cinta sejati pasti datang tepat pada waktunya” [Unknown]

Property is The Fruit of Labor

"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." [Abraham Lincoln]

Tidak Semua Yang Berkilau Itu Emas

“Tidak semua yang berkilau itu emas” (unknown)

Optical Delusion

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." [Albert Einstein]

I Have not Permitted Myself

Act of Murder

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." [Albert Einstein]

God Bless The Women of America!

"I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women; but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war. I will close by saying, God bless the women of America!" [Abraham Lincoln]

Art and Science

"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires.

The Wise Old Man

A wealthy man requested an old scholar to wean his son away from his bad habits.  The scholar took the youth for a stroll through a garden. Stopping suddenly he asked the boy to pull out a tiny plant growing there.

The youth held the plant between his thumb and forefinger and pulled it out. The old man then asked him to pull out a slightly bigger plant. The youth pulled hard and the plant came out, roots and all. “Now pull out that one,” said the old man pointing to a bush. The boy had to use all his strength to pull it out.

“Now take this one out,” said the old man, indicating a guava tree. The youth grasped the trunk and tried to pull it out. But it would not budge. “It’s impossible,” said the boy, panting with the effort.

“So it is with bad habits,” said the sage. “When they are young it is easy to pull them out but when they take hold they cannot be uprooted.”

The session with the old man changed the boy’s life.

"Don’t wait for Bad Habits to grow in you, drop them while you have control over it else they will get control you."

I Found The Consideration

The Only Difference is That There is No Cat

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this?

I am Rather Inclined to Silence

Rational Knowledge

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."   [Albert Einstein]

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

No Religious Basis is Necessary

Ini Adalah Hidupmu

Ini adalah hidupmu,
lakukanlah hal-hal yg kamu suka,
dan lakukan itu dengan sering..

Kalau kamu tidak suka sesuatu hal, ubahlah.
Kalau kamu tidak suka pekerjaanmu, berhentilah.
Kalau kamu tidak punya banyak waktu, berhentilah menonton TV
Kalau kamu sedang mencari cinta sejati dalam hidupmu, berhentilah,
cinta itu akan datang padamu saat kamu melakukan hal-hal yang kamu cintai …

Jangan terlalu banyak berpikir, hidup itu simpel.
Perasaan dan emosi itu indah.

Saat kamu makan,
nikmati setiap gigitan.

Buka hati dan pikiranmu untuk hal-hal yg baru.

Dan, Kawan, bukankah sesungguhnya kita semua dalam perbedaan?
Tanyai orang-orang di sekitarmu apa mimpi terbesarnya,
dan bagian mimpi-mimpimu dengan mereka juga..

Seringlah bepergian ke tempat baru,
tersesat akan membuatmu menemukan dirimu sendiri..

Kesempatan baik hanya datang sekali,
ambillah cepat jangan sampai terlewatkan..

Hidup adalah tentang orang-orang yang kamu temui dan
hal-hal yang kamu ciptakan bersama mereka,
jadi keluarlah dan mulailah menciptakan sesuatu..

Hidup itu singkat,
Peliharalah mimpi-mimpi dan gairah hidupmu..

Dialog Albert Einstein dan Profesor

Seorang Profesor dari sebuah universitas terkenal menantang mahasiswa-mahasiswa nya dengan pertanyaan ini, “Apakah Tuhan menciptakan segala yang ada?”.

Seorang mahasiswa dengan berani menjawab, “Betul, Dia yang menciptakan semuanya”. “Tuhan menciptakan semuanya?” Tanya professor sekali lagi. “Ya, Pak, semuanya” kata mahasiswa tersebut.

Profesor itu menjawab, “Jika Tuhan menciptakan segalanya, berarti Tuhan menciptakan Kejahatan. Karena kejahatan itu ada, dan menurut prinsip kita bahwa pekerjaan kita menjelaskan siapa kita, jadi kita bisa berasumsi bahwa Tuhan itu adalah kejahatan.”

Mahasiswa itu terdiam dan tidak bisa menjawab hipotesis professor tersebut.

Profesor itu merasa menang dan menyombongkan diri bahwa sekali lagi dia telah membuktikan kalau Kekristenan itu adalah sebuah mitos.

Mahasiswa lain mengangkat tangan dan berkata, “Profesor, boleh saya bertanya sesuatu?”

“Tentu saja,” jawab si Profesor

Mahasiswa itu berdiri dan bertanya, “Profesor, apakah dingin itu ada?”

“Pertanyaan macam apa itu? Tentu saja dingin itu ada. Kamu tidak pernah sakit flu?” Tanya si professor diiringi tawa mahasiswa lainnya.

Mahasiswa itu menjawab, “Kenyataannya, Pak, dingin itu tidak ada. Menuruthukum fisika, yang kita anggap dingin itu adalah ketiadaan panas. Suhu -460F adalah ketiadaan panas sama sekali. Dan semua partikel menjadi diam dan tidak bisa bereaksi pada suhu tersebut. Kita menciptakan kata dingin untuk mendeskripsikan ketiadaan panas.

Mahasiswa itu melanjutkan, “Profesor, apakah gelap itu ada?”

Profesor itu menjawab, “Tentu saja itu ada.”

Mahasiswa itu menjawab, “Sekali lagi anda salah, Pak. Gelap itu juga tidak ada. Gelap adalah keadaan dimana tidak ada cahaya. Cahaya bisa kita pelajari, gelap tidak. Kita bisa menggunakan prisma Newton untuk memecahkan cahaya menjadi beberapa warna dan mempelajari berbagai panjang gelombang setiap warna. Tapi Anda tidak bisa mengukur gelap. Seberapa gelap suatu ruangan diukur dengan berapa intensitas cahaya di ruangan tersebut. Kata gelap dipakai manusia untuk mendeskripsikan ketiadaan cahaya.”

Akhirnya mahasiswa itu bertanya, “Profesor, apakah kejahatan itu ada?”

Dengan bimbang professor itu menjawab, “Tentu saja, seperti yang telah kukatakan sebelumnya. Kita melihat setiap hari di Koran dan TV. Banyak perkara kriminal dan kekerasan di antara manusia. Perkara-perkara tersebut adalah manifestasi dari kejahatan.”

Terhadap pernyataan ini mahasiswa itu menjawab, “Sekali lagi Anda salah, Pak. Kajahatan itu tidak ada. Kejahatan adalah ketiadaan Tuhan. Seperti dingin atau gelap, kajahatan adalah kata yang dipakai manusia untuk mendeskripsikan ketiadaan Tuhan. Tuhan tidak menciptakan kajahatan. Kajahatan adalah hasil dari tidak adanya kasih Tuhan dihati manusia. Seperti dingin yang timbul dari ketiadaan panas dan gelap yang timbul dari ketiadaan cahaya.”

Profesor itu terdiam.

Nama mahasiswa itu adalah Albert Einstein.

I Seek Refuge with (Allah) the Lord of Mankind

Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind,
"The King of mankind,
"The Ilah (God) of mankind,
"From the evil of the whisperer (devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after one remembers Allah) ,
"Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,
"Of jinns and men."
[Surah An-Naas:1-6, The Noble Quran]

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

I Never Understood

I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'

Armada Masa Depan

Indah persahabatan
Tak pernah hilang di memori ini
Tertawa bersama
Meski selalu diiringi oleh kesedihan
Penuh warna
Bila tlah dewasa
Terkadang kita kekanak-kanakan
Selalu berkhayal
Namun melangkah dengan cita - cita yang mulia
Anugerah sang kuasa

Kitalah armada masa depan
Yang akan mengukir dunia
Raih semua bintang
Dan tebarkan sinarnya terangi semesta

Takkan dipungkiri
Nanti kita akan menjadi tua
Jangan dibiarkan bergulirnya waktu
Hanyalah memakan usia
Tak jelas tujuannya

Kitalah armada masa depan
Yang akan mengukir dunia
Raih semua bintang
Dan tebarkan sinarnya terangi semesta

Kitalah armada masa depan
Yang akan mengukir dunia
Raih semua bintang
Dan tebarkan sinarnya terangi semesta

Hempaskan ragu dan kegalauan
Gapailah semua angan mimpimu
Cerahnya hari bila tercipta
Maha karya anak manusia

Kitalah armada masa depan
Yang akan mengukir dunia
Raih semua bintang
Dan tebarkan sinarnya terangi semesta

A Strong Friendship

"A strong friendship doesn't need daily conversation, doesn't always need togetherness, as long as the relationship lives in the heart, true friends will never part..." [MEI_]

Losing My Religion

Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said enough

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said enough

Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream

[R.E.M.]

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
Guide us to the Straight Way
The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray.
[Surah Al-Fatihah:1-7, The Noble Quran]

Berikan Aku 1000 Orang Tua

Berikan aku 1000 orang tua, niscaya akan kucabut Semeru dari akarnya, berikan aku 1 pemuda, niscaya akan kuguncangkan dunia. [Soekarno]
