Cunning

Post by David Joel Miller.

“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

― George Washington

“Human madness is oftentimes a cunning and most feline thing. When you think it fled, it may have but become transfigured into some still subtler form.”

― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

“Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience.”

― J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known

Wanted to share some inspirational quotes with you. Today seemed like a good time to do this. There are an estimated 100,000 words in the English language that are feelings related. Some emotions are pleasant, and some are unpleasant, but all feelings can provide useful information. I’ve also included some words related to strengths and values since the line between what we think and what we feel may vary from person to person. If any of these quotes strike a chord with you, please share them.

Look at these related posts for more on this topic and other feelings, strengths, and values.

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

― Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat

“It’s a thingy! A fiendish thingy!”

― George Harrison
