In The name ofGod, The Beneficent, The Merciful. I seek refuge from the accursed Satan, please accept my prayer... I seek Thy refuge from anxiety and grief, I seek Thy refuge from lack of strength and laziness, I seek Thy refuge from cowardice and niggardliness, I seek Thy refuge from being overpowered by debt and from the oppression of men. Suffice Thou me, with what is lawful. Turn away from me the things that Thou prohibit. And with Thy Grace, Please keep me free from want of what is besides Thee.

Among the Kalenjins, may the son be born with spiritual luster; in this country, may the king be born a warrior, a capable archer and chariot-fighter; may the cow be born a milk cow; the ox a good draught ox; the horse a fleet one; the damsel the object of the city's admiration; the fighter victorious; and the youth fit for the assembly; kalenjin hero be born to the performer of the sacrifice; whenever we wish may the cloud rain; may our vegetation ripen with fruits; may there be for us acquisition and conserving [of prosperity].

In ordinary life, truth is what really exists, what a person really knows. Whereas in set it consists of something that is not actually in existence but which could happen. For example, when you go in and you ASSUME ATTRACTION, you going holding the belief that she is already attracted to you, when this may or not be the case. What’s significant here is the reality of the inner life of the pick up artist, and his belief in that reality. We're not concerned with the actual naturalistic existence of what surrounds us when we're out doing pickup, or the actual reality of the material world! That is of use to us only insofar as it supplies a general background for our feelings. When you have a strong belief in your internal reality, this is what we're talking about when we say you need to maintain a "strong frame.” In other words, you need to have an unshakable belief that your perspective is the "correct" one, the one that corresponds with "objective realit...

Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another. Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it. Knowledge and human power are synonymous. I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can. It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know. And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. [John 8:32] Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves. To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't. Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life. It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity. Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet. We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed. Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic sta...

Never appeal to a man's better nature - he might not have one. Invoking his self interest gives you more leverage. Natural laws have no pity. Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then go do it. Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too small a pen. Homo Sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does this to himself. Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keeps her from drowning them at birth. A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits. Formal courtesy between husband and wife is even more important than it is between strangers. An elephant: A mouse built to government specifications. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain. "I came, I saw, SHE conquered." In handling a stinging i...
