Moderation is the feebleness and sloth of the soul, whereas ambition is the warmth and activity of it.
Activity and rest are two vital aspects of life. To find a balance in them is a skill in itself. Wisdom is knowing when to have rest, when to have activity, and how much of each to have. Finding them in each other - activity in rest and rest in activity - is the ultimate freedom.
The legislative department is everywhere extending the sphere of its activity and drawing all power into its impetuous vortex.
Activity is not output.
All men are equal and free: society by nature, and destination, is therefore autonomous and ungovernable. If the sphere of activity of each citizen is determined by the natural division of work and by the choice he makes of a profession, if the social functions are combined in such a way as to produce a harmonious effect, order results from the free activity of all men; there is no government. Whoever puts a hand on me to govern me is an usurper and a tyrant; I declare him my enemy.
Corporate principles and military principles are basically the same. Insulation. Illusion. Hype. Activity.
My favorite activity is conscience dreaming.
Even if you look at the 'Paranormal Activity' movies, at the end of the movie things get really crazy and nutty, but they all start in a very mundane situation that people can relate to, and that's also to some degree what we tried to do in 'Chernobyl Diaries.
Sexuality is not a leisure or part-time activity. It is a way of being.
Most so-called women's work is not recognized as real activity. One reason for this attitude may be that such work is usually associated with helping others' development, rather than with self-enhancement or self-employment.
Winter in # Maine is a time of alternating rest and frenzied activity.
I'm a bit of a nerd, and my extracurricular activity is nerd games.
Freedom is but the possibility of a various and indefinite activity; while government, or the exercise of dominion, is a single, yet real activity. The longing for freedom, therefore, is at first only too frequently suggested by the deep-felt consciousness of its absence.
I see no room in holy Scripture for any sexual activity outside of matrimony.
A being is free only when it can determine and limit its activity.
As for procreation, no one in his right mind would say that it is the only activity devoid of a praiseworthy incentive. Those who reproduce, then, should not feel unfairly culled as the worst conspirators against the human race. Every one of us is culpable in keeping the conspiracy alive, which is all right with most people.
All the mind's activity is easy if it is not subjected to reality.
Energie is the operation, efflux or activity of any being: as the light of the Sunne is the energie of the Sunne, and every phantasm of the soul is the energie of the soul.
Woman can best refind herself by losing herself in some kind of creative activity of her own.
Don't mistake activity with achievement.
