AMBITION - The passion of ambition is the same in a courtier, a soldier or an ecclesiastic; but from their different educations and habits they will take very different methods in gratifying it.
AWE- Out of our recognition in fear and awe that there is an unknowable comes all that is best in the exploration of the mind, even though that recognition often misleads us into superstition, enslavement and over-confidence.
BENDING - The exercise most frequently performed by human beings. We bend over backwards for some people; we bend low fawning over others; we never miss a bender; teachers give benders; we periodically bend to pick up the shattered pieces of our lives; we bend double with pain; we bend low with care; we bend to touch our toes in vain attempt to stave off the middle age spread. In fact we are now beginning to stoop to any lengths.... And I wonder why our forefathers ever bothered to stand up in the first place.
