Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

That whole cd makes me so relaxed, it's like being carried away by pure beauty.
Anger does not even begin to describe the ire burning in one's breast this very morning.
"Prey tell, what heinous event is responsible for such a violent reaction", you are probably not asking.
They are trying to ban patio heaters.

Yes you heard me correctly. Can you believe it? Apparently, they use "energy". That is absolutely preposterous as mine runs on good old fashioned British gas.
"You're destroying the environment", these eco-fascists shout. Am i? Am i really? What is more important in this world, some far-fetched notion of falling sea levels, ozone eating greenhouses and carbon bigfoots or my ability to stroll around one's garden clad in shirt-sleeves without succumbing to the perishing chill of a deadly mild breeze.
We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the patios and the lawns, we shall fight them on the streets and in the grounds of luxury hotels. We shall never surrender.

The old Tour De France (that's Tour of France for non-French speakers) is in a bit of a pickle this morning with teams being expelled left, right and, indeed, centre. Riders missing drug tests, being caught injecting testosterone and quite fantastically, swapping their blood for some with a little more oxygen or gasoline or something in it.
It's a far cry from the old days of proper cycling when there were none of these pampered riders, HRT or carbolic spheroids. No it was all uphill and the rider, having no support from team cars following on behind, had to carry all their equipment with them, relying only on their sharp wits, their fortitude and copious amounts of cocaine or amphetamine sulphate to see them through. And they had wooden bikes, probably
'How High' - Charlatans
Bloaters, fatties, porkers and Americans: Put down that artery busting burger, set aside that bar of chocolate covered lard and haul your sorry carcasses out of that comfy chair. Get down on your flabby knees and prey to Jesus.
The men in white coats have done it, my corpulent friends.
You have lived with the whispered insults, the small children pointing and laughing in the street and the indignity of having the fire department free you from the cake shop doorway. No longer, do you hear? No more shall you suffer the sneering and taunting. No more, for you, the burden of blame.
You are not responsible for your fat. Obesity is contagious.

It wasn't lack of exercise that did for you; blame it on an infected batch of pies crawling with obesity germs; blame it on that portly gentleman you used to pass on the way to school every morning; blame it on the Soviet Union and their roly-poly army of plague carrying KGB fat-men, placed on public transport with orders to sneeze in the faces of God-fearing peoples everywhere.
