Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit then nothing can be more redemptive.
My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.
Also to be honest my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now aged 35 I want to see what I can achieve physically.
Moral courage is higher and a rarer virtue than physical courage.
Someone once told me the one thread that runs through them all is a premium on personal courage - not intellectual courage but just plain physical courage.
These rules may seem simple enough but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained.
In my old age I have been thinking about this and I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage.
Physical courage is a great test.
It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This however I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask and take it as required.
I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.
Patience that blending of moral courage with physical timidity.
I have no physical courage I've asked for a double.
Physical bravery is an animal instinct moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.
Physical courage which despises all danger will make a man brave in one way and moral courage which despises all opinion will make a man brave in another.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
It's now possible to play and take lessons from any place of the world. The concept of physical distance doesn't exist in the online world and that is so cool!
I'm physically completely mal-coordinated. My best friend used to make me run for the bus just to give herself a quick cheap laugh because I definitely don't have that sophisticated cool thing down.
The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.
Music is about communication... it isn't just something that maybe physically sounds good or orally sounds interesting it's something far far deeper than that.
There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality then it is a quality of the spirit.
We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet we all know that life experiences do change us.
I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.
My dad is a lawyer and my mom is an artist. So growing up was exactly what it sounds like - strict household but a lot of creativity. They are so psyched that I get to make music for a living. My parents rule.
