The Secret Intelligence Service I knew occupied dusky suites of little rooms opposite St James's Park Tube station in London.
The truth is of course that history is not completed in modern commerce any more than philosophy is perfected in political economy. In other words there is nothing timeless or God-given about filling stations and penicillin and plastic bags.
Happiness: a way station between too little and too much.
Alas! if the principles of contentment are not within us the height of station and worldly grandeur will as soon add a cubit to a man's stature as to his happiness.
When I was waiting tables washing dishes or mowing lawns for money I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path my own journey an American journey where I could think for myself decide for myself define happiness for myself.
No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station through which God speaks to us every hour if we will only tune in.

Propaganda must appeal to mankind's better judgment and to the necessary belief in a better future. For this belief the valley of the shadow of death is but a war station on the road to the blessed summit.
For 50 years nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task and most of the cost of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.
We would load up the yellow Cutlass Supreme station wagon and pick blackberries during blackberry season or spring onions during spring onion season. For us food was part of the fabric of our day.
People don't want to talk about death just like they don't want to talk about computer security. Maybe I should have named my workstation Fear. People are so motivated by fear.
Except for naval and air exercises our military should be stationed on American soil where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.
Every great work every big accomplishment has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision and often just before the big achievement comes apparent failure and discouragement.
