Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.
If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty.
Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither.
A really well-maded buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature.

The well-bred contradict other people.  The wise contradict themselves.
Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance.
Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness.
In all unimportant matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential.  In all important matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential.
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.
Pleasure is the only thing one should live for.  Nothing ages like happiness.
It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime.  Vulgarity is the conduct of others.
Only the shallow know themselves.
Time is a waste of money.
One should always be a little improbable.
There is a fatality about all good resolutions.  They are invariably made too soon.
The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated.
To be premature is to be perfect.

Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
A truth ceases to be true when more than one person believes in it.

It is only the superficial qualities that last.  Man's deeper nature is soon found out.
Industry is the root of all ugliness.
The ages live in history through their anachronisms.
It is only the gods who taste of death.  Apollo has passed away, but Hyacinth, whom men say he slew, lives on.  Nero and Narcissus are always with us.
The old believe everything: the middle-aged suspect everything: the young know everything.
The condition of perfection is idleness: the aim of perfection is youth.
Only the great masters of style ever succeed in being obscure.
There is something tragic about the enormous number of young men there are in England at the present moment who start life with perfect profiles, and end by adopting some useful profession.
To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.

A Profile in Humanity

Geoffrey Canada - Not Just Another Rags to Riches Story

Geoffrey Canada refused to get sucked into the black hole of poverty that is The South Bronx. The third of four sons, Canada grew up like many poor, black kids in the South Bronx, with a single mother. But he did not just want to join the overwhelming statistic of kids in the Bronx that drop out of school...he was determined to change the world. So he did well in high school, got accepted to Bowdoin College in Maine, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He had done so well at Bowdoin, that he went on to receive a Master's Degree in Education from Harvard. Not only had he already overcome every stereotype from his old neighborhood, but he had gone far beyond the expectations of anyone, graduating from the finest school in the country.

But it wasn't enough for Geoffrey Canada to just change his future, he wanted to change the future of every kid from Harlem...

As President of the Rheedlen Centers for Children and Families in 1990, Canada decided that the scope of Rheedlen was far too small and was not reaching enough kids, so by starting Harlem Children's Zone, Canada aimed to reach the kids of more than 24 blocks in Harlem. This was revolutionary. No one had ever attempted to reach out to that large of a group of Harlem students before, but Canada's hope-filled reach proved more than successful. Today, Harlem Children's Zone plays an active role in a student's academic career from birth to graduation, with students from over 100 blocks in Harlem. That's over 17,000 children.

Perhaps the biggest recognition for Geoffrey Canada's work came from President Obama himself, with Obama's plan of the 20 Promise Neighborhoods Program looking to replicate Harlem Children Zone's work in 20 cities across the country. And with $10 million in federal grants, the HCZ is on the road to change not just Harlem, but all of America.

Just Your Average Modern Bearded Man

A Rant On Cue

In our present time in society, we have finally given away our ability to think. We have finally turned our backs on how our products are produced.

Who gives a fuck who makes my clothes or who built my 3G Phone?

Our only concern is in the final details; how it looks, how it will make us appear to others, and what feelings and emotions will it evoke in us. This appears no stronger than in the food industry, with the bullshit hype surrounding eating fresh natural grown foods, free of pesticides and additives. Why does no one ask the question: “Why isn't all food grown naturally and with health as its main concern?” Well Mr. American Citizen, it’s a little thing you might heard of called “Big Business.”

With the goal of fucking you over by increasing production and lowering overhead costs. In 2008 alone the food industry, the food industry, spent 52 billion dollars on advertising. Just to give you an idea of how crazy this number is: in 2008, political advertisements were estimated at 2.8 billion dollars and the auto industry spent 25 billion dollars.

Obviously food should be of higher concern than automobiles, but do we really need to be told what to eat?

It’s unfortunate that the "Modern Man" can tell you what new television to buy and which one to avoid, but couldn't tell you the difference between enriched white bread and whole wheat. Next time you find yourself at the local grocery store, take a second and ask yourself:

“Am I buying this for the nutrition, or just because it has Justin Beiber on the cover?”
