This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walk in the Light While Ye Have Light; Thoughts and Aphorisms; Letters; Miscellanies Guests were one day assembled in a wealthy house, and a serious conversation on life was started. They spoke of present and of absent people, and they could not find a single man who was satisfied with his life. Not only was there not one man who could boast of happi ness, but there was not even one man who thought that he was living as was becoming for a Christian. All con fessed that they were living only a worldly life in cares for themselves and for their families, and that not one of them was thinking of his neighbour, and much less of God. Thus the guests spoke among themselves, and all agreed in accusing themselves of a godless, non-chris tian life.

Download or read book Letter from Birmingham Jail written by Martin Luther King and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 2025-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.
Download or read book Aphorisms written by Franz Kafka and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kafka’s aphorisms are fascinating glimpses into the lure and the enigma of the form itself. • From the acclaimed author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial—and one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century. The aphorism eludes definition: it can appear to be a random jotting or a more polished observation. Whether arbitrary fragment or crystalline shard, an aphorism captures the inception of a thought. Franz Kafka composed aphorisms during two periods in his life. A series of 109 was written between September 1917 and April 1918, in Zürau, West Bohemia, while Kafka was on a visit to his sister Ottla, hoping for a brief respite following the diagnosis of the tuberculosis virus that would eventually claim his life. They were originally published in 1931, seven years after his death by his friend and literary executor Max Brod, under the title Betrachtungen über Sünde, Hoffnung, Leid, und den wahren Wag (Reflections on Sin, Hope, Suffering, and the True Way). The second sequence of aphorisms, numbering 41, originally appeared as entries in Kafka’s diary from January 6 to February 29, 1920. They, too, were published posthumously, under the title “Er”: Aufzeichnungen aus dem Jahr 1920 (“He”: Reflections from the Year 1920).
Download or read book Afterthoughts Opinions and Casual Observations written by Alpio Baldi and published by Red Anvil Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I make no pretense at being a scholar. My formal studies, by conventional standards, are considered average. Although I never distinguished myself in the classroom, I have a great respect for learning and learned individuals as well as knowledge for its own inestimable value. What follows are not so casual opinions and observations of some of the daunting issues confronting this troubled nation that I believe is in a rapid state of (moral) decline. Whether such impressions appear plausible, I will leave to the readers discretion. Should the ideas presented in these pages be received by some degree of skepticism, then I consider this humble endeavor worthy of my efforts. My main purpose in writing this book, aside from wanting to leave something behind, was to encourage people to think critically about things. We are a nation that has grown complacent in its social and political outlook and interactions with other people; progressively exhausted by material dynamics, that many of us have forgotten how to properly question or doubt, for that matter, which is oftentimes the case when a nation has grown at ease with itself. I believe that Americas (increasingly) lax moral attitudes are placing the nation on the brink of national suicide. What sets this nation apart from the inevitable decline of other great nations, however, is that no other nation has ever purposely promoted its own self-destruction! At no other time in recorded history has a nations internalized sense of guilt dominated its social and political thinking; never a collective desire to purge itself of self-fabricated guilt complexes whose origins are, more often than not, imaginary rather than real. We, as a people, havedevolved into groveling apologists for such remarkable achievements otherwise perceived by the historically illiterate as the product of wicked or contentious designs; in a word, we are seeking redemption for being a great nation. The path of least resistance, it seems, lies in undermining the customs and traditions of time-honored institutions that (once) made many of us proud Americans. I dedicate this book of ideas to family and friends, living and deceased, whose thought provoking insights provided the material for expressing such opinions as I understand them. I wish to especially thank my wife Rose for her untiring support and patience during some rather trying moments. Whether I have offended any individual or group, such was not my intention. I too, am conditioned by what I believe. In the final analysis, I am an average man of ordinary talents who is trying to make a difference in his own way inasmuch as my (meager) abilities will allow.
