Lod Quotes

El Alquimista cogió un libro que alguien de la caravana había traído. El volumen estaba sin las tapas, pero logró identificar su autor: Oscar Wilde. Mientras lo hojeaba, encontró una historia sobre Narciso. El Alquimista conocía la leyenda de Narciso, un hermoso muchacho que todos lod días iba a contemplar su propia belleza en el lago. Estaba tan fascinado por sí mismo, que un día cayó dentro del lago y murió ahogado. En el lugar donde cayó nació una flor a la que llamaron narciso. Pero no era así como Oscar Wilde ponía fin a la historia. Él decía que cuando Narciso murió, vinieron las Oréiadas-diosas del bosque- y vieron el lago transformado, de un lago de agua dulce, en un cántaro de lágrimas saladas. - Por qué lloráis?- preguntaron las Oréiadas. - Lloro por Narciso,- respondió el lago. - Oh, no nos extraña que lloréis por Narciso- prosiguieron diciendo ellas-. Al gin y al cabo, a pesar de que todas nosotras le perseguíamos siempre a través del bosque, vos erais el único que tenía la oportunidad de contemplar de cerca su belleza. - Entonces, ¿era bello Narciso?- preguntó el lago. - ¿Quién sino vos podría saberlo?- respondieron, sorprendidas, las Oréiadas-. Después de todo, era sobre vuestra orilla donde él se inclinaba todos los días. El lago quedóse inmóvil unos instantes. Finalmento dijo: - Lloro por Narciso, pero nunca me habñia dado cuenta de que Narciso fuese bello. - Lloro por Narciso porque cada vez que él se recostaba sobre mi orilla yo podía ver, en el fondo de sus ojos, mi propia belleza reflejada. Qué historia tan hermosa- dijo el Alquimista.

Supiste coser un corazón deshilachado sobre un pecho a la intemperie. Enhebraste el hilo de la conversación con mano artesana. Me hiciste un traje con los sueños que quedaban por cumplir. Deshiciste lod nudos de mi garganta mientras bordabas tu nombre en mi destino. Fuiste sastre ante el desastre porque, sin desvestirme, supiste desnudar mi alma.

The Law of Spiritual Detachment: Detachment and Non-resistance means to not resist moving ahead in harmony with the currents of life while maintaining and growing a sense of peace. Not allowing simple external things to hold you back.

Tankefuldt så han, hvor stille og roligt solen sank i aftenrødens bål, og blev til syvende og sidst enig med sig selv om, at hans liv ikke blot var faldet sådan ud, simpelt og ligetil, men at han var skabt, ja forudbestemt til at leve sådan for dermed at udtrykke muligheden af en ideelt fredsommelig menneskelige tilværelse. Det var faldet i andres lod, tænkte han, at stå som udtryk for tilværelsens mere urolige sider og sætte skabende og ødelæggende kræfter i gang - enhver har sin opgave!

Da den arvelige Synd blev forklaret for nogle, sagde de: Hvi lod GUD ikke Adam og Eva strax omkomme og skabte andre Mennesker i deres Sted, som kunde have forplantet reene Børn og Efterkommere? Videre, da dem blev sagt, at Dievelen forfører Mennesker til at overtræde GUds Bud, hvi GUd da ikke dræber eller indspærrer ham og derved befrier Menneskene fra Fristelser, som styrte dem udi evig U-lykke? Videre, naar dem siges, at de, som ikke kiende GUd og troe paa ham, blive fordømte, svare de, hvi haver da GUd tøvet saa længe med at forkynde os Troen?

Christianity gradually made its way, first in France, about five hundred years after the birth of Christ, then in England, one or two hundred years later; still later in Germany, where the Saxons, Christianized by Charlemagne about the year 800 after Christ, were the last heathen people.

The pagan religion flourished in the north of Europe until about the middle of the 11th century; or, to speak more accurately, Christianity was not completely introduced into Iceland before the year 1000; in Denmark and Norway some twenty or thirty years later, while in Sweden, pacrnnism was not completely rooted out before the year 1150. In

The introduction of Christianity in Iceland was attended by no violence. While in the other countries mentioned above the monarchical form of government prevailed, and the people were compelled by their rulers to accept the gospel of Christ, the Icelanders enjoyed civil liberty, had a democratic form of government, and accepted the new religion by the vote of their representatives in the Althing, or Parliament, which convened at Thingvolls in the summer of 1000; and in this way we are able to account for all the heathen and vernacular literature that was put into writing and preserved for us by that remarkable people, who inhabited the island of the icy sea.

The role of the manager for the monster wrestler (or tag team) is significant: He is an ambassador to the real world. Even when the monsters speak English, as the L.O.D. did, a manager can provide a human element—a plausible answer to the questions like “Does Hawk have a checking account?

No great religion permits us to speak what is not true, and to smile in the face of an enemy while pretending to be his friend. No religion teaches that we should "pay back lesing for lies." Neither does a religion tell us that we should expect a return for every kindness done; that we should regard friendship as being actuated by selfish motives; that we should never praise when praise seems to be deserved.

In the northern extremity of the heavens sits the giant Hrtesvelger (corpse-swallower), in the guise of an eagle. The strokes of bis wings produce the winds and storms.

The gods to whom divine honors must be rendered are twelve in number, and their names are Odin, Thor, Balder, Ty, Brage, Heimdal, Hod, Vidar, Vale, Ull, Forsete, Loke.

In turkle time a lin is the briefest moment that can just about be measured. Ninety lins make a tikk, one hundred tikks make a lod, thirty eight lods make a yan, the time it takes the planet Ankor to make one complete turn in the path of the star, Ruru, its main source of light and warmth. Ten yans make a zac. Six zacs make a yod, twenty yods make a zik. Twelve ziks make a zan. Sixteen zans make a nik.

gratitude, prayer, and meditation. 

You must be aware of your choices of mind and action.  With each action, you should be able to ask the following question: “What are the potential consequences of this Choice?” To begin with, constructive actions will create and build opportunity and positive outcomes. View each choice with the end result in mind. Your choices allow you to mentally visualize or feel the outcome.

Some of us can ask our body, heart, or Spiritual center if the choice is right. Does the choice allow us to feel comfortable sensations in our Spirit? The area of the center body gives tiny emotions or feelings that will help us make decisions if we ask in mind and heart so that we can feel our inner response.

2)                 Allow Your True Place to Appear:  We must live according to providence. There are things that we are meant to do. We must dig deep into our souls to determine what our true purpose on earth is. Our being wants us to live and express our true talents and inner desires. You may have a dream to build hospitals, write poetry or create music. You may even have a calling to minister to the sick or poor. Whatever it is, be sure and express this before you leave this world. Many people find this true place in their labor. They call this a “labor of love or “right livelihood”.  This type of joyous work is easy and enjoyable regardless of how stressful it may be for others. This is because your purpose energizes your work and you are having fun.

Da hans Soldater udi det Aar 1637 havde fanget et Fruentimmer af en stor og rar Skiønhed, bragte de hende som et kostbart Bytte til deres Anfører. Turenne havde da ikkun 26 Aar, og derfore ikke kunde være følesløs; men han stillede sig an, som han ikke begreeb, hvad Krigs-Folkene derved meenede, rosede derfor deres Skikkelighed, at de havde villet beskytte samme Dame mod andre deres Brødres Vold. Han lod derpaa strax hente hendes Huusbond, udi hvis Hænder han overleverede hende med disse Ord:See! der er eders Husfrue, hvis Ære mine skikkelige Soldater have reddet.

Da Høitiden og den berammede Fæst Fremskinnet, at alle blev buden som Giæst, Var Brudgommen længst uti Havet. Hvad var her at giøre, mand skicket ham bud, Mand satte Fartøyer og Slupper herud, Og allesteds Havet omstrømmet; Hand lod sig dog icke beqvemme dertil, Han bad dem inbiude, hvem Fanden de vil, Den Giæstebud hannem ey sømmet.

I denne Skiærsmissel det artig tilgik, Hver toge til takke den skade de fik, Og ingen lod anden anmode; Thi den Harpunerer behote sit Spiud, Og Hvalen beholte sit Spæk og sin Hud, De skiltes ad Venner og gode.

De døjede en Haardhed der ikke siden lod sig huske, fordi den lammede Sjælen og udslettede sine egne spor.

Arafat himself sometimes spoke even more candidly. On January 30, 1996, he said in a closed meeting to forty Arab diplomats in Stockholm’s Grand Hotel, “We intend to destroy Israel and to establish a pure Palestinian state…. We will make the life of the Jews miserable and take everything from them…. I don’t need any Jews.”12 In a radio address on the Voice of Palestine on November 11, 1995, he said, “The struggle will continue until all of Palestine is liberated.” Lest anyone had doubts that by “all of Palestine” he meant not only Judea and Samaria and Gaza but all of Israel, he had proclaimed two months earlier, on September 7, 1995, “O Gaza, your sons are returning. O Lod, O Haifa, O Jerusalem, you are returning, you are returning,” in Arabic to a Palestinian audience. True to his deceptive character, he was careful not to mention places like Haifa and Lod, which were well within pre-1967 Israel and ostensibly not in the PLO’s plan for a state, when he spoke before Western audiences. On September 13, 1993, the day he signed the Oslo Accords, Arafat used more oblique language in explaining to a Palestinian audience that the agreement was nothing more than the PLO’s “Phased Plan.” This plan, calling for the destruction of Israel in stages, had been adopted by the PLO in 1964 and was well familiar to Palestinians. The unchanging and thinly disguised PLO strategy of destroying Israel in stages completely contradicted Oslo’s ostensible message of peace and reconciliation. So did the post-Oslo flood of official Palestinian exhortations dehumanizing Jews as pigs and teaching schoolchildren to glorify Palestinian suicide bombers. As usual, little of this entered the international discourse or caused governments to rethink the much-vaunted Oslo Accords. There was supposedly a honeymoon between the PLO and Israel under Prime Minister Rabin; Arafat and Rabin were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 “for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East.” It was inconceivable that the prizewinning Arafat could be swindling the entire world. Of course, anybody with a sober view of the facts could see that this was precisely what was happening. But what Yoni had written years earlier about some in Israel was now true of many in the international community: “They want to believe, so they believe. They want not to see, so they distort.”13

Many Holocaust survivors were, as a matter of government policy, settled in evacuated Palestinian homes in Arab towns like Jaffa, Haifa, Lod and Ramla, thus forcibly grafting the memory of the Holocaust onto Palestinian national memory, and symbolically linking the Holocaust of the Jewish people (mostly Polish Jews) to the Palestinian Nakba.

Denn uns ging es längst nicht mehr um die Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens, wie sie oft in Naivität gestellt wird und nichts weiter meint als die Verwirklichung irgendeines Zieles dadurch, daß wir schaffend etwas hervorbringen. Uns ging es um den Sinn des Lebens als jener Totalitat, die auch noch den lod mit einbegreit und so nicht nur den Sinn von »Leben« gewährleistet, sondern auch den Sinn von Leiden und Sterben: um diesen Sinn haben wir gerungen.

for at blive accepteret, for at blive holdt af, for at opnå anerkendelse, lod jeg mig selv blive ham den onde.

Never come late to a party you were supposed to host. Second chances are rare. If you miss them... cry.

Mine udgydelser i notesbogen bestod af brudstykker af mit liv, som jeg arrangerede efter forgodtbefindende, jeg lod mig føre hvor som helst hen, jeg gennemlevede øjeblikke, som jeg aldrig havde oplevet i virkeligheden, men som jeg fantaserede mig til, jeg sad ikke i sandhedens gabestok som henne hos lægen.
