Discussions
Sometimes, users and visitors to Aphorisms Galore! feel the urge to comment on something, or even to start a discussion on a brand new topic. Sometimes, those users and visitors are living breathing human beings and not spam robots. When that happens, their messages show up here. (Some messages from spam robots may also appear from time to time, but I try to make sure they don't.)

what can you do for your country -JFK
War is great it can save economies and lives. it saves economies because if not for world war II. America may still be in the great depression the war opened up so many jobs to people like ammo factories plane repair shops ect. War saves lives if the allies didn't fight in WWII no one would have saved the people in concentration camps and they would all have died

Just the opposite is true. The more you put into life, the more you will get out of it. Also - We never get what we want out of life. We only get what we focus on.

If Stephen Wright can only be quoted for two aphorisms, you shouldn't post this comment (unless, of course, you champion the ridiculous over the sublime).

This wasn't said by Benjamin Frankin - he was quoting Daniel Defoe, in The Political History of the Devil, 1726.

Rubbish. Wisdom is beauty and v.v. Otherwise you're dealing with counterfeits!

This phrase is the quintessential expression of the phenomenological starting point, the fruit of scepticism pushed to extremes, enabling man to become responsible for himself, just as Gautama had done so two thousand years before.
