Gut, dass am heutigen internationalen Tag der Kinderrechte rund 75 Menschen in Berlin-Mitte für die Freilassung der von der Hamas entführten Kinder demonstriert haben.

Unter den am 7.10.2023 von Djihadisten in den Gazastreifen entführen 240 Menschen sind 40 Kinder. Seit 44 Tagen befindet sich Israel im Kriegszustand, bangt um das Schicksal der Entführten und unternimmt erhebliche Anstrengungen, um die Geiseln aus den Händen der Terroristen zu befreien und die Terrororganisationen zu zerschlagen. Dabei gehen die Israel Defense Forces mit einer Präzision vor, versuchen die Zivilopfer so gering wie möglich zu halten, rufen zu Evakuierungen der Kampfgebiete auf, ermöglichen den Abzug von Zivilisten, von denen die Hamas unverhohlen zugab, sie als menschliche Schutzschilde zu missbrauchen. https://www.jns.org/over-10-of-24-hamas-battalions-significantly-damaged/

Menschenrechtsorganisationen wie UNICEF meinen das Leid durch Aufrufe zum Waffenstillstand lindern zu können, als ließen sich Terrororganisationen wie Hamas und Islamischer Djihad zur Menschlichkeit überreden und als würde der islamische Terror nicht allgemein auf die Negierung von Persönlichkeitsrechten und die Auslöschung jedes freiheitlichen Lebens zielen. Das wahre Übel besteht darin, dass das Leiden aller Kinder - einschließlich der israelischen Opfer des Hamas-Terrors - für die Propaganda des Hasses ausgenutzt wird. Reliance on Terror-linked NGOs

Damit verkommen die Appelle von UNICEF Deutschland, UN Human Rights Council, Save the children, Defence for Children International zur Farce. Übrigens: Seit November 2023 hat der Iran den Vorsitz im Sozialforum des UN-Menschenrechtsrats inne. Ausgerechnet das Land, in dem Frauen ausgepeitscht und Schwule erhängt werden, soll jetzt über die Einhaltung von Menschenrechten wachen. https://www.unicef.de/informieren/aktuelles/presse/-/unicef-fordert-waffenstillstand-und-zugang-humanitaere-hilfe/341696 https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/un-committee-marks-world-children-s-day-in-sombre-mood-due-to-killing-of-children-in-gaza/3059720

Unter den Vereinten Nationen hat Israel seit der Staatsgründung 1948 einen schweren Stand. Kein anderes Land steht bei den Vereinten Nationen so oft am Pranger wie Israel. Der UN-Menschenrechtsrat etwa hat den jüdischen Staat in seinen Resolutionen häufiger verurteilt als alle anderen Länder dieser Welt zusammen. Auch die Generalversammlung der UNO beschäftigt sich in ihren Diskussionen weitaus öfter mit der einzigen Demokratie im Nahen Osten als etwa mit Syrien oder dem Iran. Die für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Kultur zuständige UNESCO verabschiedet am laufenden Band Resolutionen, in denen die historischen Bezüge des Judentums zum Land negiert werden. https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/israel-un-verhaeltnis-100.html

Demonstrationen und Kundgebungen für die Freilassung der Geiseln und gegen die Agitation des politischen Islam setzen ein richtiges Zeichen und die dringliche Forderung: Bring Them Home Now! Es ist wichtig sich die deutsche Politik aufzufordern, alles zu unternehmen, um die Entführten so schnell wie möglich zu befreien. Denn die in Gaza festgehaltenen Kinder, Frauen und Männer können sich nicht für ihre Befreiung einsetzen.

Are PIMBEX's 'On Sale' Items Actually a Good Deal?

```html Are PIMBEX's 'On Sale' Items Actually a Good Deal?

If you've been researching precious metals dealers, you've likely come across PIMBEX — an online platform offering gold, silver, and other bullion products with a promise of attractive prices and "on sale" deals. But before you hit the buy button, it's essential to ask yourself: Is PIMBEX legit? Are those finding the best online bullion dealer sales truly savings or just marketing smoke and mirrors? In this detailed PIMBEX review, I’ll walk you through everything from pricing and hidden fees to shipping and storage problems, and even how PIMBEX compares to industry heavyweights like APMEX and JM Bullion.

What is PIMBEX? A Quick Overview

PIMBEX is a relatively new player in the precious metals retail space, offering a wide range of bullion products — including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and bars. Their website highlights "on sale" items that seem cheaper than competitors, and they cater to both individual investors and those interested in Precious Metals IRAs.

But as with any dealer, a critical question remains: Are their prices and service quality truly competitive, or are you better off sticking with more established names?

PIMBEX vs. APMEX and JM Bullion: Price and Service Comparison

When comparing PIMBEX vs APMEX or PIMBEX vs JM Bullion, several factors come into play — pricing, fees, shipping, and customer support. Let’s break these down.

Pricing: Is PIMBEX Cheaper Than APMEX or JM Bullion?

On the surface, PIMBEX markets itself as a budget-friendly alternative, often advertising prices that undercut APMEX and JM Bullion by a few percentage points. Some PIMBEX Reddit users note that certain silver coins and bars can indeed be purchased at lower premiums.

I'll be honest with you: however, it’s crucial to factor in the pimbex fees, including the oft-overlooked pimbex credit card fee — a surcharge that can add 3-4% to your purchase amount. APMEX and JM Bullion usually absorb credit card fees or offer alternative payment methods without surcharges.

When you do the math, what are the real fees for buying gold from PIMBEX those "sale" prices may not be as cheap as they seem once all fees are included. Plus, PIMBEX's PIMBEX low price guarantee and PIMBEX price match policies can be ambiguous and often come with caveats.

Hidden Costs: The Real Price of Buying Gold and Silver from PIMBEX

One of the biggest red flags in gold investing is hidden fees. With PIMBEX, common complaints include:

PIMBEX hidden costs on checkout, including handling fees. Surprise PIMBEX shipping cost additions that aren’t upfront during browsing. Longer-than-promised PIMBEX order processing time, which can delay receipt of your metals.

These factors can quickly erode the value of you

Memories? Dreams? Sessions with a psychotherapist? There are many ways to parse the latest Broadway revival of Harold Pinter's oft-revived and endlessly fascinating 1978 play Betrayal, opening tonight at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in a brilliantly choreographed production that leads its trio of duplicitous adulterers and faithless friends on a merry chassé into the past.

What I thought of while watching Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton, and Charlie Cox performing this intricate and well-executed pas de trois was a quote, not from Pinter but from Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, that would seem to sum up the situation nicely: "Musical beds is the faculty sport around here." What this means, in the context of both plays, is that it's perfectly fine for the characters to engage in the odd tryst now and then, but, really, there are limits. Secrets must remain under wraps, and appearances must be kept up. In Pinter's world, at least, "betrayal" occurs when these strictures are violated.

Betrayal unfolds in a series of backwards-in-time scenes covering the decade from 1977-1968. It presents a pattern of relatively effortless infidelity and deceit that circumscribe the lives of Robert (Mr. Hiddleston), his wife Emma (Ms. Ashton), and Emma's lover Jerry (Mr. Cox), who also is Robert's closest friend. And if you are inclined to feel sorry for Robert, rest assured he's not exactly the innocent and unknowing victim here. Nor are the three miscreants the only ones affected. Though unseen, we know enough about Jerry's wife Judith and clients of both men (Jerry is a literary agent; Robert is a publisher), to see where they fit into the well-regulated social milieu they all inhabit. The rules of engagement apply to one and all. Save your sympathy for the children.

Director Jamie Lloyd recently came off heading up a season of Pinter plays in London, culminating in this production of Betrayal. In its Broadway incarnation, everything has been polished to a sheen, and Pinter's language, including his well-known weighty pauses, garners our full attention. If you take the "musical beds" analogy from Edward Albee and make it "musical chairs," you'll get an idea of how cleverly everything is staged. Soutra Gilmour's imaginative set design makes splendid use of turntables, a couple of chairs and, occasionally, a small table to establish and reconfigure the changing relationships among the characters over time.

In less experienced hands, Pinter can all too easily come up as knotty and impenetrable, intellectual and emotionally dry. While the dialog in Betrayal occasionally threatens to veer in this direction, the performers speak with great clarity, and the generally repressed emotions of their characters surface through body language, gestures, tone of voice, and facial expressions that mostly and appropriately only we in the audience can discern. As an added and smartly-conceived touch, all three remain on stage at all times, even if only two are interacting in any given scene; their lives are so intertwined, how could it be otherwise?

Betrayal was last seen on Broadway in the fall of 2013. That mounting, directed by Mike Nichols, was a show-offy star turn for the big name married couple of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz as Robert and Emma (Rafe Spall was on board as Jerry). It was a very physical event with oversize performances and a more-or-less traditional set design. That was the polar opposite of what you will get with this production, which, along with the beautifully concise and harmonious performances, uses Jon Clark's lighting design, and Ben and Max Ringham's sound design and underscoring to provide the entire enterprise with its dreamlike or memory quality that works most effectively. All told, this is a first-rate presentation, spare perhaps in size but hardly in scope.

Introduction to the framework

Programming paradigms

From time to time, the difference in writing code using computer languages ​​was introduced.The programming paradigm is a way to classify programming languages ​​based on their features. For example

Functional programming

 Object oriented programming.

Some computer languages support many patterns. There are two programming languages. These are non-structured programming language and structured programming language. In structured programming language are two types of category. These are block structured(functional)programming and event-driven programming language. In a non-structured programming language characteristic  

earliest programming language.

 A series of code.

Flow control with a GO TO statement.

 Become complex as the number of lines increases as a example Basic, FORTRAN, COBOL.

Often consider program as theories of a formal logical and computations as deduction in that logical space.

Non-structured programming may greatly simplify writing parallel programs.The structured programming language characteristics are

  A programming paradigm that uses statement that change a program’s state. 

Structured programming focus on describing how a program operators.

The imperative mood in natural language express commands, an imperative program consist of command for the computer perform.

When considering the functional programming language and object-oriented programming language in these two languages have many differences

       In here lambda calculus   is formula in mathematical logic for expressing computation based on functional abstraction and application using variable binding and substitution. And lambda expressions is anonymous function that can use to create delegates or expression three type by using lambda expressions. Can write local function that can be passed as argument or returned as the value of function calls. A lambda expression is the most convenient way to create that delegate. Here an example of a simple lambda expression that defines the “plus one” function.

                       λx.x+1

And here no side effect meant in computer science, an operation, function or expression is said to have a side effect if it modifies some state variable values outside its local environment, that is to say has an observable effect besides returning a value to the invoke of the operation.Referential transparency meant oft-touted property of functional language which makes it easier to reason about the behavior of programs.

Key features of object-oriented programming

There are major features in object-oriented programming language. These are 

  Encapsulation - Encapsulation is one of the basic concepts in object-oriented programming. It describes the idea of ​​bundling the data and methods that work on that data within an entity.

 Inheritance - Inheritance is one of the basic categories of object-oriented programming languages. This is a mechanism where can get a class from one class to another, which can share a set of those characteristics and resources.

Polymorphous - Polymorphous is an object-oriented programming concept that refers to the ability of a variable, function, or object to take several forms.

Encapsulation - Encapsulation is to include inside a program object that requires all the resources that the object needs to do - basically, the methods and the data. 

These things are refers to the creation of self-contain modules that bind processing functions to the data. These user-defined data types are called “classes” and one instance of a class is an “object”.

These things are refers to the creation of self-contain modules that bind processing functions to the data. These user-defined data types are called “classes” and one instance of a class is an “object”.

How the event-driven programming is different from other programming paradigms???

      Event driven programming is a focus on the events triggered outside the system

 User events

Schedulers/timers

Sensor, messages, hardware, interrupt.

Mostly related to the system with GUI where the users can interact with the GUI elements. User event listener to act when the events are triggered/fired. An internal event loop is used to identify the events and then call the necessary handler.

Software Run-time Architecture

A software architecture describes the design of the software system in terms of model components and connectors. However, architectural models can also be used on the run-time to enable the recovery of architecture and the architecture adaptation Languages ​​can be classified according to the way they are processed and executed.

Compiled language

Scripting language

Markup language

          Communication between application and OS needs additional components.The type of language used to develop application components. 

Compiled language

The compiled language is a programming language whose implementation is generally compiled, and not interpreter

Some executions can be run directly on the OS. For example, C on windows. Some executable s use vertical run-time machines. For example, java.net.

Scripting language

A scripting or script language is a programming language that supports the script - a program written for a specific run-time environment that automates the execution of those tasks that are performed by a human operator alternately by one-by-one can go.

The source code is not compiled it is executed directly.At the time of execution, code is interpreted by run-time machine. For example PHP, JS.

Markup Language

The markup language is a computer language that uses tags to define elements within the document.

There is no execution process for the markup language.Tool which has the knowledge to understand markup language, can render output. For example, HTML, XML.Some other tools are used to run the system at different levels

Virtual machine

Containers/Dockers

Virtual machine

Containers

Virtual Machine Function is a function for the relation of vertical machine environments. This function enables the creation of several independent virtual machines on a physical machine which perpendicular to resources on the physical machine such as CPU, memory network and disk.

Development Tools

A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program used by software developers to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications.Computer aided software engineering tools are used in the engineering life cycle of the software system.

Requirement – surveying tools, analyzing tools.

Designing – modelling tools

Development – code editors, frameworks, libraries, plugins, compilers.

Testing – test automation tools, quality assurance tools.

Implementation – VM s, containers/dockers, servers.

Maintenance – bug trackers, analytical tools.

CASE software types

Individual tools – for specific task.

Workbenches – multiple tools are combined, focusing on specific part of SDLC.

Environment – combines many tools to support many activities throughout the SDLS. 

Framework vs Libraries vs plugins….

plugins

plugins provide a specific tool for development. Plugin has been placed in the project on development time, Apply some configurations using code. Run-time will be plugged in through the configuration

  Libraries

To provide an API, the coder can use it to develop some features when writing the code. At the development time,

Add the library to the project (source code files, modules, packages, executable etc.)

Call the necessary functions/methods using the given packages/modules/classes.

At the run-time the library will be called by the code

Framework

Framework is a collection of libraries, tools, rules, structure and controls for the creation of software systems. At the run-time,

Create the structure of the application.

Place code in necessary place.

May use the given libraries to write code.

Include additional libraries and plugins.

At run-time the framework will call code.

A web application framework may provide

User session management.

Data storage.

A web template system.

A desktop application framework may provide

User interface functionality.

Widgets.

Frameworks are concrete

     Framework consists of physical components that are usable files during production.JAVA and NET frameworks are set of concrete components like jars,dlls etc.

A framework is incomplete

The structure is not usable in its own right. Apart from this they do not leave anything empty for their user. The framework alone will not work, relevant application logic should be implemented and deployed alone with the framework. Structure trade challenge between learning curve and saving time coding.

Framework helps solving recurring problems

           Very reusable because they are helpful in terms of many recurring problems. To make a framework for reference of this problem, commercial matter also means.

Framework drives the solution

           The framework directs the overall architecture of a specific solution. To complete the JEE rules, if the JEE framework is to be used on an enterprise application.

Importance of frameworks in enterprise application development

           Using code that is already built and tested by other programmers, enhances reliability and reduces programming time. Lower level "handling tasks, can help with framework codes. Framework often help enforce platform-specific best practices and rules.

Saving money online isn’t always as simple as the oft-prescribed “put it away and don’t touch it” advice makes it seem. With financial concerns constantly tugging at our attention, it can be difficult to find the time and money to save for future goals, events, or unavoidable emergencies.

[indianarrative1]

The Chinese won’t change. Just like the leopard, the Chinese don’t change their spots. This became evident once again during the week, when Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin said, “For the Chinese side, we have been honouring the agreements signed between China and India. We are committed to peace and stability in the border area. Meanwhile, we are committed to our sovereignty and territorial integrity.” In other words, in Chinese view, to repeat a cliché, “might is right”. So China will continue to shift the LAC to its advantage and if India stands up to it, China will push India towards war, or try to tie it down along the LAC, thus wearing it out and draining its resources. And all the while playing the victim.

It’s all about teaching India a lesson for trying to be a global power, about scaring away potential investors, as well as about sending a message not only to the rest of the world and the minnows who stand up to it, but also a challenge to the United States by treating India as its proxy. But then that is how the Chinese are—always have been. The problem is that it is Indians who still believe that the Chinese can be made to mend their way, see reason, as External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar hoped ahead of the Moscow meeting with his counterpart Wang Yi.

The outcome of that meeting was a five-point agreement, which incorporated the oft-repeated clichés that have become a part of any India-China dialogue—“differences should not become disputes”; “abide by all the existing agreements and protocol on China-India boundary affairs”; “border troops…should continue their dialogue, quickly disengage, maintain proper distance and ease tensions”. Meaningless words, considering China is consistently guilty of violating each and every of the five points. Worse, the agreement lays a minefield for India for it talks about disengaging and retreating from current positions, which means India vacating all the heights it presently occupies on the bank of Pangong Tso, overlooking PLA’s Moldo garrison—which is now a sitting duck—and thus losing the tactical advantage it has. And the 14-15 June clash at Galwan is proof of what disengagement means to the Chinese.

This is not the time for hoping that China will see reason. This is not the time to give China a “face-saving exit as India cannot take them on”, as is being whispered in certain quarters. In this context, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s words in Parliament were, for a change, candid: “China says one thing and does the opposite.” His statement that India wanted peace but was ready for war is welcome. It is not every day that such strong statements come from India’s power corridor, which has had decades of practice in staying silent on China’s aggression for fear of angering Beijing, thus exposing itself to be weak and vulnerable. It’s hoped that the Defence Minister’s words will not be mere words and India will not capitulate tamely in its attempt to make peace. China is a bully, which needs to be taught a lesson. The bully needs to realise that it has underestimated India; that it will have to pay a price for its aggression, in both economic and military terms. That it cannot be business as usual when soldiers of the two countries are engaged in an eyeball to eyeball standoff, with the prospect of a military conflict—possibly even an actual war—hovering on the horizon.

Make no mistake, China under Xi Jinping is desperate for a victory. And in their eyes, India is the lowest hanging fruit for this. It is not a question of if, but when China will strike! The only thing that will deter China from its misadventure is India striking suitable alliances—including working towards a Nato-like construct for the Quad and Quad-Plus countries, where every signing member is treaty-bound to come to each other’s assistance when attacked by China. The need of the day is an Indo-Pacific charter, with the firm objective of containing China. If the Chinese Communist Party is afraid of anything it is afraid of a united world standing up to it. But in pursuing such a policy India cannot be seen to be a reluctant ally, which is still waffling around, unable to choose a side, in the name of a long dead non alignment, while hanging onto the coattails of countries that are supping with China.

Designing And Building A Progressive Web Application Without A Framework (Part 1)

Designing And Building A Progressive Web Application Without A Framework (Part 1)

Ben Frain

2019-07-23T14:00:59+02:002019-07-23T12:07:36+00:00

How does a web application actually work? I don’t mean from the end-user point of view. I mean in the technical sense. How does a web application actually run? What kicks things off? Without any boilerplate code, what’s the right way to structure an application? Particularly a client-side application where all the logic runs on the end-users device. How does data get managed and manipulated? How do you make the interface react to changes in the data?

These are the kind of questions that are simple to side-step or ignore entirely with a framework. Developers reach for something like React, Vue, Ember or Angular, follow the documentation to get up and running and away they go. Those problems are handled by the framework’s box of tricks.

That may be exactly how you want things. Arguably, it’s the smart thing to do if you want to build something to a professional standard. However, with the magic abstracted away, you never get to learn how the tricks are actually performed.

Don’t you want to know how the tricks are done?

I did. So, I decided to try building a basic client-side application, sans-framework, to understand these problems for myself.

But, I’m getting a little ahead of myself; a little background first.

Before starting this journey I considered myself highly proficient at HTML and CSS but not JavaScript. As I felt I’d solved the biggest questions I had of CSS to my satisfaction, the next challenge I set myself was understanding a programming language.

The fact was, I was relatively beginner-level with JavaScript. And, aside from hacking the PHP of Wordpress around, I had no exposure or training in any other programming language either.

Let me qualify that ‘beginner-level’ assertion. Sure, I could get interactivity working on a page. Toggle classes, create DOM nodes, append and move them around, etc. But when it came to organizing the code for anything beyond that I was pretty clueless. I wasn’t confident building anything approaching an application. I had no idea how to define a set of data in JavaScipt, let alone manipulate it with functions.

I had no understanding of JavaScript ‘design patterns’ — established approaches for solving oft-encountered code problems. I certainly didn’t have a feel for how to approach fundamental application-design decisions.

Have you ever played ‘Top Trumps’? Well, in the web developer edition, my card would look something like this (marks out of 100):

CSS: 95

Copy and paste: 90

Hairline: 4

HTML: 90

JavaSript: 13

In addition to wanting to challenge myself on a technical level, I was also lacking in design chops.

With almost exclusively coding other peoples designs for the past decade, my visual design skills hadn’t had any real challenges since the late noughties. Reflecting on that fact and my puny JavaScript skills, cultivated a growing sense of professional inadequacy. It was time to address my shortcomings.

A personal challenge took form in my mind: to design and build a client-side JavaScript web application.

On Learning

There has never been more great resources to learn computing languages. Particularly JavaScript. However, it took me a while to find resources that explained things in a way that clicked. For me, Kyle Simpson’s ‘You Don’t Know JS’ and ‘Eloquent JavaScript’ by Marijn Haverbeke were a big help.

If you are beginning learning JavaScript, you will surely need to find your own gurus; people whose method of explaining works for you.

The first key thing I learned was that it’s pointless trying to learn from a teacher/resource that doesn’t explain things in a way you understand. Some people look at function examples with foo and bar in and instantly grok the meaning. I’m not one of those people. If you aren’t either, don’t assume programming languages aren’t for you. Just try a different resource and keep trying to apply the skills you are learning.

It’s also not a given that you will enjoy any kind of eureka moment where everything suddenly ‘clicks’; like the coding equivalent of love at first sight. It’s more likely it will take a lot of perseverance and considerable application of your learnings to feel confident.

As soon as you feel even a little competent, trying to apply your learning will teach you even more.

Here are some resources I found helpful along the way:

Fun Fun Function YouTube Channel

Kyle Simpson Plural Sight courses

Wes Bos’s JavaScript30.com

Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke

Right, that’s pretty much all you need to know about why I arrived at this point. The elephant now in the room is, why not use a framework?

Why Not React, Ember, Angular, Vue Et Al

Whilst the answer was alluded to at the beginning, I think the subject of why a framework wasn’t used needs expanding upon.

There are an abundance of high quality, well supported, JavaScript frameworks. Each specifically designed for the building of client-side web applications. Exactly the sort of thing I was looking to build. I forgive you for wondering the obvious: like, err, why not use one?

Here’s my stance on that. When you learn to use an abstraction, that’s primarily what you are learning — the abstraction. I wanted to learn the thing, not the abstraction of the thing.

I remember learning some jQuery back in the day. Whilst the lovely API let me make DOM manipulations easier than ever before I became powerless without it. I couldn’t even toggle classes on an element without needing jQuery. Task me with some basic interactivity on a page without jQuery to lean on and I stumbled about in my editor like a shorn Samson.

More recently, as I attempted to improve my understanding of JavaScript, I’d tried to wrap my head around Vue and React a little. But ultimately, I was never sure where standard JavaScript ended and React or Vue began. My opinion is that these abstractions are far more worthwhile when you understand what they are doing for you.

Therefore, if I was going to learn something I wanted to understand the core parts of the language. That way, I had some transferable skills. I wanted to retain something when the current flavor of the month framework had been cast aside for the next ‘hot new thing’.

Okay. Now, we’re caught up on why this app was getting made, and also, like it or not, how it would be made.

Let’s move on to what this thing was going to be.

An Application Idea

I needed an app idea. Nothing too ambitious; I didn’t have any delusions of creating a business start-up or appearing on Dragon’s Den — learning JavaScript and application basics was my primary goal.

The application needed to be something I had a fighting chance of pulling off technically and making a half-decent design job off to boot.

Tangent time.

Away from work, I organize and play indoor football whenever I can. As the organizer, it’s a pain to mentally note who has sent me a message to say they are playing and who hasn’t. 10 people are needed for a game typically, 8 at a push. There’s a roster of about 20 people who may or may not be able to play each game.

The app idea I settled on was something that enabled picking players from a roster, giving me a count of how many players had confirmed they could play.

As I thought about it more I felt I could broaden the scope a little more so that it could be used to organize any simple team-based activity.

Admittedly, I’d hardly dreamt up Google Earth. It did, however, have all the essential challenges: design, data management, interactivity, data storage, code organization.

Design-wise, I wouldn’t concern myself with anything other than a version that could run and work well on a phone viewport. I’d limit the design challenges to solving the problems on small screens only.

The core idea certainly leaned itself to ‘to-do’ style applications, of which there were heaps of existing examples to look at for inspiration whilst also having just enough difference to provide some unique design and coding challenges.

Intended Features

An initial bullet-point list of features I intended to design and code looked like this:

An input box to add people to the roster;

The ability to set each person to ‘in’ or ‘out’;

A tool that splits the people into teams, defaulting to 2 teams;

The ability to delete a person from the roster;

Some interface for ‘tools’. Besides splitting, available tools should include the ability to download the entered data as a file, upload previously saved data and delete-all players in one go;

The app should show a current count of how many people are ‘In’;

If there are no people selected for a game, it should hide the team splitter;

Pay mode. A toggle in settings that allows ‘in’ users to have an additional toggle to show whether they have paid or not.

At the outset, this is what I considered the features for a minimum viable product.

Design

Designs started on scraps of paper. It was illuminating (read: crushing) to find out just how many ideas which were incredible in my head turned out to be ludicrous when subjected to even the meagre scrutiny afforded by a pencil drawing.

Many ideas were therefore quickly ruled out, but the flip side was that by sketching some ideas out, it invariably led to other ideas I would never have otherwise considered.

Now, designers reading this will likely be like, “Duh, of course” but this was a real revelation to me. Developers are used to seeing later stage designs, rarely seeing all the abandoned steps along the way prior to that point.

Once happy with something as a pencil drawing, I’d try and re-create it in the design package, Sketch. Just as ideas fell away at the paper and pencil stage, an equal number failed to make it through the next fidelity stage of Sketch. The ones that seemed to hold up as artboards in Sketch were then chosen as the candidates to code out.

I’d find in turn that when those candidates were built-in code, a percentage also failed to work for varying reasons. Each fidelity step exposed new challenges for the design to either pass or fail. And a failure would lead me literally and figuratively back to the drawing board.

As such, ultimately, the design I ended up with is quite a bit different than the one I originally had in Sketch. Here are the first Sketch mockups:

Initial design of Who’s In application (Large preview)

Initial menu for Who’s In application (Large preview)

Even then, I was under no delusions; it was a basic design. However, at this point I had something I was relatively confident could work and I was chomping at the bit to try and build it.

Technical Requirements

With some initial feature requirements and a basic visual direction, it was time to consider what should be achieved with the code.

Although received wisdom dictates that the way to make applications for iOS or Android devices is with native code, we have already established that my intention was to build the application with JavaScript.

I was also keen to ensure that the application ticked all the boxes necessary to qualify as a Progressive Web Application, or PWA as they are more commonly known.

On the off chance you are unaware what a Progressive Web Application is, here is the ‘elevator pitch’. Conceptually, just imagine a standard web application but one that meets some particular criteria. The adherence to this set of particular requirements means that a supporting device (think mobile phone) grants the web app special privileges, making the web application greater than the sum of its parts.

On Android, in particular, it can be near impossible to distinguish a PWA, built with just HTML, CSS and JavaScript, from an application built with native code.

Here is the Google checklist of requirements for an application to be considered a Progressive Web Application:

Site is served over HTTPS;

Pages are responsive on tablets & mobile devices;

All app URLs load while offline;

Metadata provided for Add to Home screen;

First load fast even on 3G;

Site works cross-browser;

Page transitions don’t feel like they block on the network;

Each page has a URL.

Now in addition, if you really want to be the teacher’s pet and have your application considered as an ‘Exemplary Progressive Web App’, then it should also meet the following requirements:

Site’s content is indexed by Google;

Schema.org metadata is provided where appropriate;

Social metadata is provided where appropriate;

Canonical URLs are provided when necessary;

Pages use the History API;

Content doesn’t jump as the page loads;

Pressing back from a detail page retains scroll position on the previous list page;

When tapped, inputs aren’t obscured by the on-screen keyboard;

Content is easily shareable from standalone or full-screen mode;

Site is responsive across phone, tablet and desktop screen sizes;

Any app install prompts are not used excessively;

The Add to Home Screen prompt is intercepted;

First load very fast even on 3G;

Site uses cache-first networking;

Site appropriately informs the user when they’re offline;

Provide context to the user about how notifications will be used;

UI encouraging users to turn on Push Notifications must not be overly aggressive;

Site dims the screen when the permission request is showing;

Push notifications must be timely, precise and relevant;

Provides controls to enable and disable notifications;

User is logged in across devices via Credential Management API;

User can pay easily via native UI from Payment Request API.

Crikey! I don’t know about you but that second bunch of stuff seems like a whole lot of work for a basic application! As it happens there are plenty of items there that aren’t relevant to what I had planned anyway. Despite that, I'm not ashamed to say I lowered my sights to only pass the initial tests.

For a whole section of application types, I believe a PWA is a more applicable solution than a native application. Where games and SaaS arguably make more sense in an app store, smaller utilities can live quite happily and more successfully on the web as Progressive Web Applications.

Whilst on the subject of me shirking hard work, another choice made early on was to try and store all data for the application on the users own device. That way it wouldn’t be necessary to hook up with data services and servers and deal with log-ins and authentications. For where my skills were at, figuring out authentication and storing user data seemed like it would almost certainly be biting off more than I could chew and overkill for the remit of the application!

Technology Choices

With a fairly clear idea on what the goal was, attention turned to the tools that could be employed to build it.

I decided early on to use TypeScript, which is described on its website as “… a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.” What I’d seen and read of the language I liked, especially the fact it learned itself so well to static analysis.

Static analysis simply means a program can look at your code before running it (e.g. when it is static) and highlight problems. It can’t necessarily point out logical issues but it can point to non-conforming code against a set of rules.

Anything that could point out my (sure to be many) errors as I went along had to be a good thing, right?

If you are unfamiliar with TypeScript consider the following code in vanilla JavaScript:

console.log(`${count} players`); let count = 0;

Run this code and you will get an error something like:

ReferenceError: Cannot access uninitialized variable.

For those with even a little JavaScript prowess, for this basic example, they don’t need a tool to tell them things won’t end well.

However, if you write that same code in TypeScript, this happens in the editor:

TypeScript in action (Large preview)

I’m getting some feedback on my idiocy before I even run the code! That’s the beauty of static analysis. This feedback was often like having a more experienced developer sat with me catching errors as I went.

TypeScript primarily, as the name implies, let’s you specify the ‘type’ expected for each thing in the code. This prevents you inadvertently ‘coercing’ one type to another. Or attempting to run a method on a piece of data that isn’t applicable — an array method on an object for example. This isn’t the sort of thing that necessarily results in an error when the code runs, but it can certainly introduce hard to track bugs. Thanks to TypeScript you get feedback in the editor before even attempting to run the code.

TypeScript was certainly not essential in this journey of discovery and I would never encourage anyone to jump on tools of this nature unless there was a clear benefit. Setting tools up and configuring tools in the first place can be a time sink so definitely consider their applicability before diving in.

There are other benefits afforded by TypeScript we will come to in the next article in this series but the static analysis capabilities were enough alone for me to want to adopt TypeScript.

There were knock-on considerations of the choices I was making. Opting to build the application as a Progressive Web Application meant I would need to understand Service Workers to some degree. Using TypeScript would mean introducing build tools of some sort. How would I manage those tools? Historically, I’d used NPM as a package manager but what about Yarn? Was it worth using Yarn instead? Being performance-focused would mean considering some minification or bundling tools; tools like webpack were becoming more and more popular and would need evaluating.

Summary

I’d recognized a need to embark on this quest. My JavaScript powers were weak and nothing girds the loins as much as attempting to put theory into practice. Deciding to build a web application with vanilla JavaScript was to be my baptism of fire.

I’d spent some time researching and considering the options for making the application and decided that making the application a Progressive Web App made the most sense for my skill-set and the relative simplicity of the idea.

I’d need build tools, a package manager, and subsequently, a whole lot of patience.

Ultimately, at this point the fundamental question remained: was this something I could actually manage? Or would I be humbled by my own ineptitude?

I hope you join me in part two when you can read about build tools, JavaScript design patterns and how to make something more ‘app-like’.

• A collection of bad love songs, tattered from overuse, has to touch us like a cemetery or a village. So what if the houses have no style, if the graves are vanishing under tasteless ornaments and inscriptions? Before an imagination sympathetic and respectful enough to conceal momentarily its aesthetic disdain, that dust may release a flock of souls, their beaks holding the still verdant dreams that gave them an inkling of the next world and let them rejoice or weep in this world.- Marcel Proust • A country whose buildings are of wood, can never increase in its improvements to any considerable degree…. Whereas when buildings are of durable materials, every new edifice is an actual and permanent acquisition to the state, adding to its value as well as to its ornament. – Thomas Jefferson • A fine thought in fine language is a most precious jewel, and should not be hid away, but be exposed for use and ornament. – Arthur Conan Doyle • A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years. – Ambrose • A lady I will be, but a man’s accessory, his handbag, no thank you. I will not be someone’s ornament. I will not just be someone’s honey, baby, sweetheart. – Deb Caletti • A metaphor is not an ornament. It is an organ of perception. Through metaphors, we see the world as one thing or another. – Neil Postman • A minute analysis of life at once destroys that splendor which dazzles the imagination. Whatsoever grandeur can display, or luxury enjoy, is procured by offices of which the mind shrinks from the contemplation. All the delicacies of the table may be traced back to the shambles and the dunghill; all magnificence of building was hewn from the quarry, and all the pomp of ornament dug from among the damps and darkness of the mine. – Samuel Johnson • A nation which lives a pastoral and innocent life never decorates the shepherd’s staff or the plough-handle; but races who live by depredation and slaughter nearly always bestow exquisite ornaments on the quiver, the helmet, and the spear. – John Ruskin • A political action committee trying to raise money for a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign is selling “Ready for Hillary” champagne glasses and Christmas ornaments. Because if one thing improves the holidays, it’s drinking mixed with politics. – Jimmy Fallon • A pretty woman is a Christmas tree,’ my mother told me in the airport. This fella is hanging things on my branches as his gaze sweeps from my face all the way down my body to my hips and then back to my face. Ideas fly from his widened eyes and land on me like teeny, decorative burdens. He is giving me shyness, maybe, some book smarts, and a certain yielding sweetness in bed. The oil-slick eyes get me, and I find myself hanging a few ornaments myself, giving him deft hands and a sense of humor. – Joshilyn Jackson • A right mind and generous affection hath more beauty and charms than all other symmetries in the world besides; and a grain of honesty and native worth is of more value than all the adventitious ornaments, estates, or preferments; for the sake of which some of the better sort so oft turn knaves. – Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury • A simple garb is the proper costume of the vulgar; it is cut for them, and exactly suits their measure, but it is an ornament for those who have filled up their lives with great deeds. I liken them to beauty in dishabille, but more bewitching on that account. – Jean de la Bruyere • A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist’s world. Just as a flower, by virtue of its existence as a complete organism is both ornamental and self-sufficient as to color, form, and texture, so art, because of its singular existence is more than mere ornament. – Hans Hofmann • Acquire knowledge. It enables its possessor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our society in solitude, our companion when friendless; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is an ornament among our friends and an armor against enemies. – Elijah Muhammad • All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow • All art is erotic. The first ornament to have been invented, the cross, was of erotic origin. It was the first work of art. A horizontal stroke: the woman lying down. A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her. – Adolf Loos • All the manifested world of things and beings are projected by imagination upon the substratum which is the Eternal All-pervading Vishnu, whose nature is Existence-Intelligence; just as the different ornaments are all made out of the same gold. – Adi Shankara • All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first conception, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas! – T. E. Lawrence • An alliterative prefix served as an ornament of oratory. – Oscar Wilde • An archer competing for a clay vessel shoots effortlessly, his or her skill and concentration unimpeded. If the prize is changed to a brass ornament, the hands begin to shake. If it is changed to gold, he or she squints as if going blind. The abilities do not deteriorate, but belief in them does, as he or she allows the supposed value of an external reward to cloud the vision. – Zhuangzi • Another of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station… There was never more flagrant nor impertinent folly than the smallest portion of ornament in anything connected with the railroads… Railroad architecture has or would have a dignity of its own if it were only left to its work. – John Ruskin • Anyone may have diamonds: an heirloom is an ornament of quite a different kind. – Elizabeth Aston • Architecture has its political Use; publick Buildings being the Ornament of a Country; it establishes a Nation, draws People and Commerce; makes the People love their native Country, which Passion is the Original of all great Actions in a Common-wealth…. Architecture aims at Eternity. – Christopher Wren • Arms are my ornaments, warfare my repose. – Miguel de Cervantes • Art matters not merely because it is the most magnificent ornament and the most nearly unfailing occupation of our lives, but because it is life itself. – Randall Jarrell • Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem’st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would,’ Like the poor cat i’ the adage? – William Shakespeare • artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable. – Elizabeth Bowen • As by some might be saide of me: that here I have but gathered a nosegay of strange floures, and have put nothing of mine unto it, but the thred to binde them. Certes, I have given unto publike opinion, that these borrowed ornaments accompany me; but I meane not they should cover or hide me. – Michel de Montaigne • As I passed along the side walls of Westminster Abbey, I hardly saw any thing but marble monuments of great admirals, but which were all too much loaded with finery and ornaments, to make on me at least, the intended impression. – Karl Philipp Moritz • As not every instance of similitude can be considered as a proof of imitation, so not every imitation ought to be stigmatised as plagiarism. The adoption of a noble sentiment, or the insertion of a borrowed ornament, may sometimes display so much judgment as will almost compensate for invention; and an inferior genius may, without any imputation of servility, pursue the paths of the ancients, provided he declines to tread in their footsteps. – Samuel Johnson • As the vine which has long twined its graceful foliage about the oak and been lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the hardy plant is rifted by the thunderbolt, cling round it with its caressing tendrils and bind up its shattered boughs, so is it beautifully ordered by Providence that woman, who is the mere dependent and ornament of man in his happier hours, should be his stay and solace when smitten with sudden calamity, winding herself into the rugged recesses of his nature, tenderly supporting the drooping head, and binding up the broken heart. – Washington Irving • At most, the greatest persons are but great wens, and excrescences; men of wit and delightful conversation, but as morals for ornament, except they be so incorporated into the body of the world that they contribute something to the sustentation of the whole. – John Donne

It is a kind of contempt of those with whom we converse, to frequent their company in uncomely apparel; but, at the same time, avoid all affectation, vanity, curiosity, or levity in your dress. Keep yourself always, as much as possible, on the side of plainness and modesty, which, without doubt, is the greatest ornament of beauty, and the best excuse for the want of it. – Saint Francis de Sales • Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously with any one. – Bahá’u’lláh • Beauty doesn’t need ornaments. Softness can’t bear the weight of ornaments. – Munshi Premchand • beauty is the projection of ugliness and by developing certain monstrosities we obtain the purest ornaments. – Jean Genet • Beside all the moral benefit which we may expect from the farmer’s profession, when a man enters it considerately, this promised the conquering of the soil, plenty, and beyond this, the adorning of the country with every advantage and ornament which labor, ingenuity, and affection for a man’s home, could suggest. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • But now sustainability is such a political category that it’s getting more and more difficult to think about it in a serious way. Sustainability has become an ornament. – Rem Koolhaas • But the building’s identity resided in the ornament. – Louis Sullivan • But the greatest error of all the rest is the mistaking or misplacing of the last or farthest end of knowledge: for men have entered into a desire of learning and knowledge, sometimes upon a natural curiosity and inquisitive appetite; sometimes to entertain their minds with variety and delight; sometimes for ornament and reputation; and sometimes to enable them to victory of wit and contradiction; and most times for lucre and profession; and seldom sincerely to give a true account of their gift of reason, to the benefit and use of men. – Francis Bacon • By the word simplicity, is not always meant folly or ignorance; but often, pure and upright Nature, free from artifice, craft or deceitful ornament. – Benjamin Franklin

Schulz • Clearness is the ornament of deep thought. – Luc de Clapiers • Clearness ornaments profound thoughts. – Luc de Clapiers • Coordinating there Events and objects with remote events And vanished objects. Making ornaments Of accidents and possibilities. – Vladimir Nabokov • Culture is not just an ornament; it is the expression of a nation’s character, and at the same time it is a powerful instrument to mould character. The end of culture is right living. – W. Somerset Maugham • Don’t let your heart depend on things That ornament life in a fleeting way! He who possesses, let him learn to lose, He who is fortunate, let him learn pain. – Friedrich Schiller • Education gives sobriety to the young, comfort to the old, riches to the poor and is an ornament to the rich. – Diogenes • Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage. – Joseph Addison • Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. – Aristotle • Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul. – Saint Augustine • Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man. – Seneca the Younger • Even in the scorched and frozen world of the dead after the holocaust The wheel as it turns goes on accreting ornaments. – Robert Pinsky • Fierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord. – Radhanath Swami • Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way. – Charles Kingsley • Gardening is a luxury occupation: an ornament, not a necessity, of life…. Fortunate gardener, who may preoccupy himself solely with beauty in these difficult and ugly days! He is one of the few people left in this distressful world to carry on the tradition of elegance and charm. A useless member of society, considered in terms of economics, he must not be denied his rightful place. He deserves to share it, however humbly, with the painter and poet. – Vita Sackville-West • God help us! it is a foolish little thing, this human life, at the best; and it is half ridiculous and half pitiful to see what importance we ascribe to it, and to its little ornaments and distinctions. – Francis Jeffrey, Lord Jeffrey • Greatness of Soul seems therefore to be as it were a crowning ornament of the virtues; it enhances their greatness, and it cannot exist without them. Hence it is hard to be truly great-souled, for greatness of soul is impossible without moral nobility. – Aristotle • He might have proved a useful adjunct, if not an ornament to society. – Charles Lamb • He removes the greatest ornament of friendship who takes away from it respect. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it.

Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one. – Arthur Golden • Hostility towards Microsoft is not difficult to find on the Net, and it blends two strains: resentful people who feel Microsoft is too powerful, and disdainful people who think it’s tacky. This is all strongly reminiscent of the heyday of Communism and Socialism, when the bourgeoisie were hated from both ends: by the proles, because they had all the money, and by the intelligentsia, because of their tendency to spend it on lawn ornaments. Microsoft is the very embodiment of modern high-tech prosperity – it is, in a word, bourgeois – and so it attracts all of the same gripes. – Neal Stephenson • How much more doth beauty beauteous seem by that sweet ornament which truth doth give! – William Shakespeare • Humility is an ornament which attracts Krishna’s heart. Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility. – Radhanath Swami • Hypocrisy itself does great honor, or rather justice, to religion, and tacitly acknowledges it to be an ornament to human nature. The hypocrite would not be at so much pains to put on the appearance of virtue, if he did not know it was the most proper and effectual means to gain the love and esteem of mankind. – Joseph Addison • I am a pretty, useless ornament who always believed she’d have a man to take care of her. – Virginia C. Andrews • I am glad that the life of pandas is so dull by human standards, for our efforts at conservation have little moral value if we preserve creatures only as human ornaments; I shall be impressed when we show solicitude for warty toads and slithering worms. – Stephen Jay Gould • I believe that organized religion is an ornament to the truth, and that aesthetics are part of its power. – Andrew Solomon • I believe the right question to ask, respecting all ornament, is simply this; was it done with enjoyment, was the carver happy while he was about it? – John Ruskin • I cannot however help repeating Piety, because I think it indispensible. Religion in a Family is at once its brightest Ornament & its best Security. – Samuel Adams • I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge. – Henry David Thoreau • I had hardly expected so dolichocephalic a skull or such well-marked supra-orbital development. Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure? A cast of your skull, sir, until the original is available, would be an ornament to any anthropological museum. It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull. – Arthur Conan Doyle • I have emerged victorious from my thirty years of struggle. I have freed mankind from superfluous ornament. – Adolf Loos • I hold every man a debtor to his profession; from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto. – Francis Bacon • I like ornament at the right time, but I don’t want a poem to be made out of decoration … When I read the poems that matter to me, it stuns me how much the presence of the heart-in all its forms-is endlessly available there. To experience ourselves in an important way just knocks me out. It puzzles me why people have given that up for cleverness. Some of them are ingenious, more ingenious than I am, but so many of them aren’t any good at being alive. – Jack Gilbert • I look for myself but find no one. I belong to the chrysanthemum hour of bright flowers placed in tall vases. I should make an ornament of my soul. – Fernando Pessoa • I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world? – William Morris • I never rebel so much against France as not to regard Paris with a friendly eye; she has had my heart since my childhood… I love her tenderly, even to her warts and her spots. I am French only by this great city: the glory of France, and one of the noblest ornaments of the world. – Michel de Montaigne • I read the newspapers with lively interest. It is seldom that they are absolutely, point-blank wrong. That is the popular belief, but those who are in the know can usually discern an embryo of truth, a little grit of fact, like the core of a pearl, round which have been deposited the delicate layers of ornament. – Evelyn Waugh • I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce. – Mark Twain • I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament. – Alanis Morissette • I think that ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ was mentally taxing, if only because I had to go to a Christmas party shortly after I had wrapped photography in Romania at two in the morning as the Ghost Rider. The invitation had a Christmas ornament on it with Ghost Rider’s face on it as a tree. – Nicolas Cage • I think that the new models of Chevrolet should have Barney Frank as a hood ornament. – Sean Hannity • I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one’s body as an instrument rather than just an ornament. – Alanis Morissette • I try to teach my students style, but always as a part of life, not as ornament. Style has to come out of communicating coherent thought, not in sticking little flowers on speeches. Style and substance and a sense of life are the things literature is composed of. One must use one’s own personality in relationship to life and language, of course, and everyone has such a relationship. Some people find it, some don’t find it, but it’s there. – Marguerite Young • I want to try to come away from that one directional, clear rectangular form. It’s not used because it’s the most beautiful form; it’s just the practical thing. That’s why our TVs are rectangles. Even in modern architecture, they want us to believe, “That’s the nicest, most beautiful thing.” I love modern architecture, but actually it’s that they cannot afford amorphous shapes or ornaments. – Pipilotti Rist • I write abundantly. And then my next step is to struggle to reduce the ornament, to reduce the abundance-to prune the book, in other words, the way one prunes a tree-so it can grow. This is my idea of a book. – James Wright • If the bees which seek the liquid oozing from the head of a lust-intoxicated elephant are driven away by the flapping of his ears, then the elephant has lost only the ornament of his head. The bees are quite happy in the lotus filled lake. – Chanakya • If the next car passed is blue, Violet will be okay, she thought. If it’s red, A will do something horrible to her. She heard a growl of an engine and shut her eyes, afraid to see what the future might hold. She’d never cared so much about anything in her life. Just as the car was passing, she opened her eyes and saw a Mercedes hood ornament. She let out a long sigh, tears coming to her eyes once more. The car was blue. – Sara Shepard • If those millions squandered on designing missionaries had been deposited in funds for the support of yourselves, when old age, misfortune, or sickness (from which none are exempt,) overtakes you, or for the distressed of your race, what a heaven of happiness you would have created on earth: ye would now be an ornament to your sex, and ages to come would call you blessed. But it is in vain to try – a priest-ridden female is lost to reason. Why? because she has surrendered her reason to the … missionaries … the orthodox; they are the grand deceivers. – Anne Royall • I’m a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it! – Hoda Kotb • In 1979, postmodernism lost its understanding of the meaning of ornament. It degenerated into kitsch applique. – Charles Jencks • In railway halls, on pavements near the traffic, They beg, their eyes made big by empty staring And only measuring Time , like the blank clock. No, I shall weave no tracery of pen-ornament To make them birds upon my singing tree: Time merely drives these lives which do not live As tides push rotten stuff along the shore. – Stephen Spender • In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? – William Shakespeare • In religions which have lost their creative spark, the gods eventually become no more than poetic motifs or ornaments for decorating human solitude and walls. – Nikos Kazantzakis • In violence there is often the quality of yearning – the yearning for completion. For closure. For that which is absent and would if present bring to fulfillment. For the body without which the wing is a useless frozen ornament. (“A Short Guide To The City”) – Peter Straub • Indeed the river is a perpetual gala, and boasts each month a new ornament. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit. – Henry David Thoreau • It isn’t money itself that causes the trouble, but the use of money as votive offering and pagan ornament. – Lewis H. Lapham • It takes talent to please the people in a sermon by a flowery style, a cheerful ethic, brilliant sallies and lively descriptions; but such a talent is inadequate. A better sort of talent neglects these extraneous ornaments, unworthy to be used in the service of the Gospel: such a preacher’s sermon will be simple, strong and Christian. – Jean de la Bruyere • Jewelry and profuse ornaments are unmistakable evidences of vulgarity. – Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton • Learning maketh young men temperate, is the comfort of old age, standing for wealth with poverty, and serving as an ornament to riches. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • Let us give today first the vital things of life and all the grace and ornaments of life will follow. – Mahatma Gandhi • Libel actions, when we look at them in perspective, are an ornament of a civilized society. They have replaced, after all, at least in most cases, a resort to weapons in defense of a reputation. – Henry Anatole Grunwald • Man doth seek a triple perfection: first a sensual, consisting in those things which very life itself requireth either as necessary supplements, or as beauties and ornaments thereof; then an intellectual, consisting in those things which none underneath man is either capable of or acquainted with; lastly a spiritual and divine, consisting in those things whereunto we tend by supernatural means here, but cannot here attain unto them. – Richard Hooker • Mannerism is not character, and affectation is the avowed enemy of grace. Every dancer ought to regard his laborious art as a link in the chain of beauty, as a useful ornament for the stage, and this, in turn, as an important element in the spiritual development of nations. – August Bournonville • Manners are the ornament of action. – Samuel Smiles • Men subsequently put whatever is newly learned or experienced to use as a plowshare, perhaps even as a weapon: but women immediately include it among their ornaments. – Friedrich Nietzsche • Men use a new lesson or experience later on as a ploughshare or perhaps also as a weapon; women at once make it into an ornament. – Friedrich Nietzsche • Modernism, rebelling against the ornament of the 19th century, limited the vocabulary of the designer. Modernism emphasized straight lines, eliminating the expressive S curve. This made it harder to communicate emotions through design. – Eva Zeisel • Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue. – Joseph Addison • Modesty is the richest ornament of a woman … the want of it is her greatest deformity. – Charles Caleb Colton • Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything. – Sivananda • Moral excellence is an ornament for personal beauty; righteous conduct, for high birth; success for learning; and proper spending for wealth. – Chanakya • More than any gift or toy, ornament of tree, let us resolve that this Christmas shall be, like that first Christmas, a celebration of interior treasures. – Ronald Reagan • Most works are most beautiful without ornament. – Walt Whitman • My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • Nine times out of ten, I’m trying to meet someone else’s expectations, whether it’s the director or the writer or the animator, when I go back in to re-record a line. I’m the icing on the cake, but the cake is the thing. I’m really just a hood ornament on a very solid vehicle. – Adrian Pasdar • No one has ever been accused for not providing ornaments, but for those who neglect their neighbour a hell awaits with an inextinguishable fire and torment in the company of the demons. Do not, therefore, adorn the church and ignore your afflicted brother, for he is the most precious temple of all. – Saint John Chrysostom • No ornament of a house can compare with books; they are constant company in a room, even when you are not reading them. – Harriet Beecher Stowe • Nobility is a graceful ornament to the civil order. It is the Corinthian capital of polished society. – Edmund Burke • Non -violence is infinitely superior to violence , forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness is the ornament. – Mahatma Gandhi • Nor do apophthegms only serve for ornament and delight, but also for action and civil use, as being the edge-tools of speech which cut and penetrate the knots of business and affairs: for occasions have their revolutions, and what has once been advantageously used may be so again, either as an old thing or a new one. – Francis Bacon • Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament. – Amos Bronson Alcott • O vanity, how little is thy force acknowledged or thy operations discerned! How wantonly dost thou deceive mankind under different disguises! Sometimes thou dost wear the face of pity; sometimes of generosity; nay, thou hast the assurance to put on those glorious ornaments which belong only to heroic virtue. – Henry Fielding • Of chastity, the ornaments are chaste. – William Shakespeare • Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament. – Marilyn Monroe • On the meeting point of two worlds, the ornament of Turkish homeland, the treasure of Turkish history, the city cherished by the Turkish nation, İstanbul, has its place in the hearts of all citizens. – Mustafa Kemal Ataturk • One of the first principles of decorative art is that in all manufactures ornament must hold a place subordinate to that of utility; and when, by its exuberance, ornament interferes with utility, it is misplaced and vulgar. – George Mason • One of the things I’ve always loved about New York is there is so much precedent for ornament on industrial buildings. – Annabelle Selldorf • Opinions: men’s thoughts about great subjects. Taste: their thoughts about small ones: dress, behavior, amusements, ornaments. – George Eliot • Ornament is but the guiled shore to a most dangerous sea. – William Shakespeare • Ornaments were invented by modesty. – Joseph Joubert • Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture. – Amos Bronson Alcott • Patience ornaments the woman and proves the man. – Tertullian • Plato defines melody to consist of harmony, number and words: harmony naked of itself, words the ornament of harmony, number the common friend and uniter of them both. – John Dowland • Plutarch has a fine expression, with regard to some woman of learning, humility, and virtue;–that her ornaments were such as might be purchased without money, and would render any woman’s life both glorious and happy. – Laurence Sterne • Poets like painters, thus unskilled to trace The naked nature and the living grace, With gold and jewels cover ev’ry part, And hide with ornaments their want of art. True wit is Nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed. – Alexander Pope • Poverty was an ornament on a learned man like a red ribbon on a white horse. – Anzia Yezierska • Presently he rose and approached the case before which she stood. Its glass shelves were crowded with small broken objects —hardly recognisable domestic utensils, ornaments and personal trifles — made of glass, of clay, of discoloured bronze and other time-blurred substances. ‘It seems cruel,’ she said, ‘that after a while nothing matters… any more than these little things, that used to be necessary and important to forgotten people, and now have to be guessed at under a magnifying glass and labeled: “Use unknown”.’ – Edith Wharton • Pretty conceptions, fine metaphors, glittering expressions, and something of a neat cast of verse are properly the dress, gems, or loose ornaments of poetry. – Alexander Pope • Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist’s inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated…The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life… The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man’s spiritual strength. – Leo Tolstoy • Rhime being no necessary Adjunct or true Ornament of Poem or good Verse, in longer Works especially, but the Invention of a barbarous Age, to set off wretched matter and lame Meeter…the troublesom and modern bondage of Rimeing. – John Milton • Rich people don’t have to have a life-and-death relationship with the truth and its questions; they can ignore the truth and still thrive materially. I am not surprised many of them understand literature only as an ornament. Life is an ornament to them, relationships are ornaments, their “work” is but a flimsy, pretty ornament meant to momentarily thrill and capture attention. Why didn’t I reread my F. Scott Fitzgerald sooner? I might have saved myself some time. – Sergio Troncoso • Right on to the New Period vineyard arbors were the centre and chief ornament of all gardens. – Marie-Luise Gothein • Sensible men show their sense by saying much in few words. If noble actions are the substance of life, good sayings are its ornament and guide. – Charles Simmons • Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions. – Ann Radcliffe • Shame is an ornament to the young; a disgrace to the old. – Aristotle • She had a bracelet on one taper arm, which would fall down over her round wrist. Mr. Thornton watched the replacing of this troublesome ornament with far more attention than he listened to her father. It seemed as if it fascinated him to see her push it up impatiently, until it tightened her soft flesh; and then to mark the loosening—the fall. He could almost have exclaimed—’There it goes, again! – Elizabeth Gaskell • She was a phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight, A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment’s ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilights too her dusky hair, But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn. – William Wordsworth • Silence is an ornament for women. – Sophocles • Simplicity is not about making something without ornament, but rather about making something very complex, then slicing elements away, until you reveal the very essence. – Christoph Niemann • So may the outward shows be least themselves: The world is still deceived with ornament. In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, But, being seasoned with a gracious voice, Obscures the show of evil? In religion, What damned error, but some sober brow Will bless it and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. – William Shakespeare • So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament. – William Shakespeare • Some Christmas tree ornaments do more than glitter and glow, they represent a gift of love given a long time ago – Tom Baker • Some men covet knowledge out of a natural curiosity and inquisitive temper; some to entertain the mind with variety and delight; some for ornament and reputation; some for victory and contention; many for lucre and a livelihood; and but few for employing the Divine gift of reason to the use and benefit of mankind. – Francis Bacon • Studies are the food of youth, the delight of old age; the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity; a delight at home, and no hindrance abroad; they are companions by night, and in travel, and in the country. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • Sustainability has become an ornament. – Rem Koolhaas • That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander’s mark was ever yet the fair; The ornament of beauty is suspect, A crow that flies in heaven’s sweetest air. – William Shakespeare • The ancients, who in these matters were not perhaps such blockheads as some may conceive, considered poetical quotation as one of the requisite ornaments of oratory. – Isaac D’Israeli • The art of decoration requires the most sophisticated and self-indulgent skills. Its aim has always been to sate the senses as gloriously as possible. … ornament is not only a source of sensuous pleasure; it supplies a necessary kind of magic to people and places that lack it. More than just a dread of empty spaces has led to the urge to decorate; it is the fear of empty selves. – Ada Louise Huxtable • The arts alone give direct access to experience. To eliminate them from education – or worse, to tolerate them as cultural ornaments – is antieducational obscurantism. It is foisted on us by the pedants and snobs of Hellenistic Greece who considered artistic performance fit only for slaves. – Peter Drucker • The Arts and Sciences, essential to the prosperity of the State and to the ornament of human life, have a primary claim to the encouragement of every lover of his country and mankind. – George Washington • The brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth. – Alphonsus Liguori • The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church’s greatest ornament. – Igor Stravinsky • The connoisseur of art must be able to appreciate what is simply beautiful, but the common run of people is satisfied with ornament. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • The Cross isn’t an ornament, mere symbol. It’s the mystery of God’s love, that He died for our sins. – Pope Francis • The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. – James Irwin • The economy is still substantially that of the fur trade, still based on the same general kinds of commercial items: technology, weapons, ornaments, novelties, and drugs. The one great difference is that by now the revolution has deprived the mass of consumers of any independent access to the staples of life: clothing, shelter, food, even water. Air access remains the only necessity that the average user can still get for himself, and the revolution has imposed a heavy tax on that by way of pollution. Commercial conquest is far more thorough and final than military defeat. – Wendell Berry • The farmer and the gardener are both busy, the gardener perhaps the more excitable of the two, for he is more of the amateur, concerned with the creation of beauty rather than with the providing of food. Gardening is a luxury occupation; an ornament, not a necessity, of life. – Vita Sackville-West • The feel of the place was deep, the prehistoric heartbeat of the rocks complicating the music, the people bright, all different kinds of dancers, smilers, swayers, swirlers, smokers, beer-drinking boppers, tripsters, spinners. I looked back at the crowd…and saw the show for a moment as a jewel…like a gem in a bracelet: an ornament on the body of the country, glittering in the coming darkness. – Jason Burke • The great end of prudence is to give cheerfulness to those hours which splendour cannot gild, and acclamation cannot exhilarate; those soft intervals of unbended amusement, in which a man shrinks to his natural dimensions, and throws aside the ornaments or disguises which he feels in privacy to be useless incumbrances, and to lose all effect when they become familiar. To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labour tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution. – Samuel Johnson • The greatest ornament of an illustrious life is modesty and humility, which go a great way in the character even of the most exalted princes. – Napoleon Bonaparte • The grossest form of this injury of the body to ornament it, is in tattooing. Next, the piercing the ear all around its rim, piercing the nose and the lips to introduce rings or bars of jewelry. – Julia McNair Wright • The hair is the finest ornament women have. Of old, virgins used to wear it loose, except when they were in mourning. – Martin Luther • The hair is the richest ornament of women. – Martin Luther • The heroic soul does not sell its justice and its nobleness. It does not ask to dine nicely and to sleep warm. The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough. Poverty is its ornament. It does not need plenty, and can very well abide its loss. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The history of most women is hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence. – Virginia Woolf • The knowledge of the past times and of the places of the earth is both an ornament and nutriment to the human mind. – Leonardo da Vinci • The ‘leisured’ wife was a badge of achievement, the ornament to hard work and virtue for families on the way up. – Hilda Scott • The modern majesty consists in work. What a man can do is his greatest ornament, and he always consults his dignity by doing it. – Thomas Carlyle • The modern university does not exist to teach alone…It exists also to serve the democracy of which it is a product and an ornament…The university rests on the public will and on public appreciation. – Nicholas Murray Butler • The music, and the banquet, and the wine– The garlands, the rose odors, and the flowers, The sparkling eyes, and flashing ornaments– The white arms and the raven hair–the braids, And bracelets; swan-like bosoms, and the necklace, An India in itself, yet dazzling not. – Lord Byron • The only really Christian art is that which, like St. Francis, does not fear being wedded to poverty. This rises far above art-as-ornament. – Andre Gide • The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The ornament of beauty, Shakespeare wrote, is suspect. And he was right. But beauty itself, unadorned and unaffected, is sacred, I think, worthy of our awe and our loyalty. – Dennis Lehane • The ornaments of our homes are the friends that visit it – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The peoples of the old world have their cities built for times gone by, when railroads and gunpowder were unknown. We can have cities for the new age that has come, adopted to its better conditions of use and ornament. We want, therefore, a city planning profession. – Horace Bushnell • The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose. – Oliver Goldsmith • The quasi-peaceable gentleman of leisure, then, not only consumes of the staff of life beyond the minimum required for subsistence and physical efficiency, but his consumption also undergoes a specialisation as regards the quality of the goods consumed. He consumes freely and of the best, in food, drink, narcotics, shelter, services, ornaments, apparel, weapons and accoutrements, amusements, amulets, and idols or divinities. – Thorstein Veblen • The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity. – Mahatma Gandhi • The real Rose Hovick was seriously mentally disturbed; June Havoc called her a beautiful little ornament that was damaged. – Karen Abbott • The royal navy of England hath ever been its greatest defence and ornament; it is its ancient and natural strength, – the floating bulwark of our island. – William Blackstone • The very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing; and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble. – Richard Baxter • The weak shows his strength and hides his weaknesses; the magnificent exhibits his weaknesses like ornaments. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb • The whole of heraldry and of chivalry is in courtesy. A man of fine manners shall pronounce your name with all the ornament that titles of nobility could ever add. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The world would be astonished if it knew how great a proportion of its brightest ornaments, of those distinguished even in popular estimation for wisdom and virtue, are complete sceptics in religion. – John Stuart Mill • The world, which the Greeks called Beauty, has been made such by being gradually divested of every ornament which was not fitted to endure. – Henry David Thoreau • Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer’s day. – Oscar Wilde • There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea. First, there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament, but are clearly revealed, a charm felt in Japanese architecture….The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods. – Gustav Stickley • There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there. – Rumi • There is material enough in a single flower for the ornament of a score of cathedrals. – John Ruskin • There is no doubt that Greek and Latin are great and handsome ornaments, but we buy them too dear. – Michel de Montaigne • There was very little about her face and figure that was in any way remarkable, but it was the sort of face which, when animated by conversation or laughter, is completely transformed. She had a lovely disposition, a quick mind and a fondness for the comical. She was always very ready to smile and, since a smile is the most becoming ornament that any lady can wear, she had been known upon occasion to outshine women who were acknowledged beauties in three countries. – Susanna Clarke • There were details like clothing, hair styles and the fragile objects that hardly ever survive for the archaeologist-musical instruments, bows and arrows, and body ornaments depicted as they were worn… No amounts of stone and bone could yield the kinds of information that the paintings gave so freely – Mary Leakey • Therefore, I bind these lies and slanderous accusations to my person as an ornament; it belongs to my Christian profession to be vilified, slandered, reproached and reviled, and since all this is nothing but that, as God and my conscience testify, I rejoice in being reproached for Christ’s sake. – John Bunyan • These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • They are done merely for ornament. … the common people regard them as supernatural. – Xunzi • Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art. – Robert Schumann • To be apt in quotation is a splendid and dangerous gift. Splendid, because it ornaments a man’s speech with other men’s jewels; dangerous, for the same reason. – Robertson Davies • to become aware of the ineffable is to part company with words…the tangent to the curve of human experience lies beyond the limits of language. the world of things we perceive is but a veil. It’s flutter is music, its ornament science, but what it conceals is inscrutable. It’s silence remains unbroken; no words can carry it away. Sometimes we wish the world could cry and tell us about that which made it pregnant with fear–filling grandeur. Sometimes we wish our own heart would speak of that which made it heavy with wonder. – Abraham Joshua Heschel • To Forget Venice is a tour de force of ventriloquism. Elegant, contemporary, and wry, the voice at its center is also capable of disarming flights of imagination as it enters and inhabits other lives across time and gender. The glittering, fetid city emerges as a complex metaphor for the human heart’s simultaneous tenderness and capacity for cruelty, its ‘silver glow / a local specialty: filth / disguised as ornament.’ This Venice is unforgettable. – Chase Twichell • To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. • Tragedy was foresworn, in ritual denial of the ripe knowledge that we are drawing away from one another, that we share only one thing, share the fear of belonging to another, or to others, or to God; love or money, tender equated in advertising and the world, where only money is currency, and under dead trees and brittle ornaments prehensile hands exchange forgeries of what the heart dare not surrender. – William Gaddis • True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park. At its best it is an emphasis of structure, a realization in graceful terms of the nature of that which is ornamented – Frank Lloyd Wright • True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism. – Henry David Thoreau • Truth is not only a man’s ornament but his instrument; it is the great man’s glory, and the poor man’s stock: a man’s truth is his livelihood, his recommendation, his letters of credit. – Benjamin Whichcote • We all originally came from the woods! it is hard to eradicate from any of us the old taste for the tattoo and the war-paint; and the moment that money gets into our pockets, it somehow or another breaks out in ornaments on our person, without always giving refinement to our manners. – Edwin Percy Whipple • We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet. Thus, in his sonnets, the lays of birds, the scents and dyes of flowers, he finds to be the shadow of his beloved; time, which keeps her from him, is his chest; the suspicion she has awakened, is her ornament – Ralph Waldo Emerson • We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine. – Henry David Thoreau • We hew and saw and plane facts to make them dovetail with our prejudices, so that they become mere ornaments with which to parade our objectivity. – Paul Eldridge • We know much of a writer by his style. An open and imperious disposition is shown in short sentences, direct and energetic. A secretive and proud mind is cold and obscure in style. An affectionate and imaginative nature pours out luxuriantly, and blossoms all over with ornament. – Henry Ward Beecher • We love to see any redness in the vegetation of the temperate zone. It is the color of colors. This plant speaks to our blood….What a perfect maturity it arrives at! It is the emblem of a successful life concluded by a death not premature, which is an ornament to Nature. What if we were to mature as perfectly, root and branch, glowing in the midst of our decay, like the poke! – Henry David Thoreau • We meet With few utterly dull and stupid souls: the sublime and transcendent are still fewer; the generality of mankind stand between these two extremes: the interval is filled with multitudes of ordinary geniuses, but all very useful, and the ornaments and supports of the commonwealth. – Jean de la Bruyere • We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it. Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. We can be sure that whoever sneers at her name as if she were the ornament of a bourgeois past — whether he admits it or not — can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able to love. – Hans Urs von Balthasar • We tend to treat our knowledge as personal property to be protected and defended. It is an ornament that allows us to rise in the pecking order. […] We take what we know a little too seriously. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb • What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities. – Walter Scott • What greater ornament to a son than a father’s glory, or to a father than a son’s honorable conduct? – Sophocles • What I resist is techniques. I find techniques very problematic. So when critics talk about my work in those terms, I find that they miss the condition. I am comfortable with the notion of pattern and ornament as a system of organization, [but] for me it acts as a textile. So it’s not about pattern, but the notion of architecture through the lens of textile, rather than architecture through the lens of brick and mortar. – David Adjaye • What on earth is modern exegesis up to? Oh, little lazy one! Some red wine and up! Off you go, brandishing your fork, stripped of Ophelia’s useless ornaments, fire in your large nostrils, out to rake the muck of metaphors. – Louis Aragon • When a rainbow appears vividly in the sky, you can see its beautiful colors, yet you could not wear as clothing or put it on as an ornament. It arises through the conjunction of various factors, but there is nothing about it that can be grasped. Likewise, thoughts that arise in the mind have no tangible existence or intrinsic solidity. There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave. – Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche • When a slave begins to take pride in his fetters and hugs them like precious ornaments, the triumph of the slave-owner is complete. – Mahatma Gandhi • Where virtue is, sensibility is the ornament and becoming attire of virtue. On certain occasions it may almost be said to become virtue. But sensibility and all the amiable qualities may likewise become, and too often have become, the panders of vice and the instruments of seduction. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge • Why would you want to keep the bluebird houses mounted in a place that you now know is unsafe for them? Bluebirds are not ornaments for pictures, they are living things that deserve your best effort if you are going to be a landlord to them. There is no magic spell that will protect those bluebirds–they have to depend on you or they are doomed. – Kathy Griffin • Wine is a part of society because it provides a basis not only for a morality but also for an environment; it is an ornament in the slightest ceremonials of French daily life, from the snack to the feast, from the conversation at the local cafT to the speech at a formal dinner. – Roland Barthes • Wise sayings are not only for ornament, but for action and business, having a point or edge, whereby knots in business are pierced and discovered. – Francis Bacon • Woman is the heart of humanity … its grace, ornament, and solace. – Samuel Smiles • Woman, to women silence is the best ornament. – Sophocles • You see the Earth as a bright blue and white Christmas tree ornament in the black sky. It’s so small and so fragile – you realize that on that small spot is everything that means everything to you; all of history and art and death and birth and love. – Rusty Schweickart • You see, for me [art]’s not one of life’s ornaments, rococo relaxation to be greeted affably after a day of hard work; I’m inverted on this : for me it’s my very breath, the one thing necessary, and all else is excretion and a latrine. – Arno Hintjens • You talk to me in parables. You may have known that I’m no wordy man, Fine speeches are the instruments of knaves Or fools that use them, when they want good sense; But honesty Needs no disguise nor ornament: be plain. – Thomas Otway • You’ll see everything from gold teeth to hood ornaments. It’s almost like Halloween during August. – David Carson

• A collection of bad love songs, tattered from overuse, has to touch us like a cemetery or a village. So what if the houses have no style, if the graves are vanishing under tasteless ornaments and inscriptions? Before an imagination sympathetic and respectful enough to conceal momentarily its aesthetic disdain, that dust may release a flock of souls, their beaks holding the still verdant dreams that gave them an inkling of the next world and let them rejoice or weep in this world.- Marcel Proust • A country whose buildings are of wood, can never increase in its improvements to any considerable degree…. Whereas when buildings are of durable materials, every new edifice is an actual and permanent acquisition to the state, adding to its value as well as to its ornament. – Thomas Jefferson • A fine thought in fine language is a most precious jewel, and should not be hid away, but be exposed for use and ornament. – Arthur Conan Doyle • A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity; he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years. – Ambrose • A lady I will be, but a man’s accessory, his handbag, no thank you. I will not be someone’s ornament. I will not just be someone’s honey, baby, sweetheart. – Deb Caletti • A metaphor is not an ornament. It is an organ of perception. Through metaphors, we see the world as one thing or another. – Neil Postman • A minute analysis of life at once destroys that splendor which dazzles the imagination. Whatsoever grandeur can display, or luxury enjoy, is procured by offices of which the mind shrinks from the contemplation. All the delicacies of the table may be traced back to the shambles and the dunghill; all magnificence of building was hewn from the quarry, and all the pomp of ornament dug from among the damps and darkness of the mine. – Samuel Johnson • A nation which lives a pastoral and innocent life never decorates the shepherd’s staff or the plough-handle; but races who live by depredation and slaughter nearly always bestow exquisite ornaments on the quiver, the helmet, and the spear. – John Ruskin • A political action committee trying to raise money for a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign is selling “Ready for Hillary” champagne glasses and Christmas ornaments. Because if one thing improves the holidays, it’s drinking mixed with politics. – Jimmy Fallon • A pretty woman is a Christmas tree,’ my mother told me in the airport. This fella is hanging things on my branches as his gaze sweeps from my face all the way down my body to my hips and then back to my face. Ideas fly from his widened eyes and land on me like teeny, decorative burdens. He is giving me shyness, maybe, some book smarts, and a certain yielding sweetness in bed. The oil-slick eyes get me, and I find myself hanging a few ornaments myself, giving him deft hands and a sense of humor. – Joshilyn Jackson • A right mind and generous affection hath more beauty and charms than all other symmetries in the world besides; and a grain of honesty and native worth is of more value than all the adventitious ornaments, estates, or preferments; for the sake of which some of the better sort so oft turn knaves. – Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury • A simple garb is the proper costume of the vulgar; it is cut for them, and exactly suits their measure, but it is an ornament for those who have filled up their lives with great deeds. I liken them to beauty in dishabille, but more bewitching on that account. – Jean de la Bruyere • A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist’s world. Just as a flower, by virtue of its existence as a complete organism is both ornamental and self-sufficient as to color, form, and texture, so art, because of its singular existence is more than mere ornament. – Hans Hofmann • Acquire knowledge. It enables its possessor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our society in solitude, our companion when friendless; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is an ornament among our friends and an armor against enemies. – Elijah Muhammad • All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow • All art is erotic. The first ornament to have been invented, the cross, was of erotic origin. It was the first work of art. A horizontal stroke: the woman lying down. A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her. – Adolf Loos • All the manifested world of things and beings are projected by imagination upon the substratum which is the Eternal All-pervading Vishnu, whose nature is Existence-Intelligence; just as the different ornaments are all made out of the same gold. – Adi Shankara • All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first conception, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas! – T. E. Lawrence • An alliterative prefix served as an ornament of oratory. – Oscar Wilde • An archer competing for a clay vessel shoots effortlessly, his or her skill and concentration unimpeded. If the prize is changed to a brass ornament, the hands begin to shake. If it is changed to gold, he or she squints as if going blind. The abilities do not deteriorate, but belief in them does, as he or she allows the supposed value of an external reward to cloud the vision. – Zhuangzi • Another of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station… There was never more flagrant nor impertinent folly than the smallest portion of ornament in anything connected with the railroads… Railroad architecture has or would have a dignity of its own if it were only left to its work. – John Ruskin • Anyone may have diamonds: an heirloom is an ornament of quite a different kind. – Elizabeth Aston • Architecture has its political Use; publick Buildings being the Ornament of a Country; it establishes a Nation, draws People and Commerce; makes the People love their native Country, which Passion is the Original of all great Actions in a Common-wealth…. Architecture aims at Eternity. – Christopher Wren • Arms are my ornaments, warfare my repose. – Miguel de Cervantes • Art matters not merely because it is the most magnificent ornament and the most nearly unfailing occupation of our lives, but because it is life itself. – Randall Jarrell • Art thou afeard To be the same in thine own act and valour As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that Which thou esteem’st the ornament of life, And live a coward in thine own esteem, Letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would,’ Like the poor cat i’ the adage? – William Shakespeare • artists were intended to be an ornament to society. As a society in themselves they are unthinkable. – Elizabeth Bowen • As by some might be saide of me: that here I have but gathered a nosegay of strange floures, and have put nothing of mine unto it, but the thred to binde them. Certes, I have given unto publike opinion, that these borrowed ornaments accompany me; but I meane not they should cover or hide me. – Michel de Montaigne • As I passed along the side walls of Westminster Abbey, I hardly saw any thing but marble monuments of great admirals, but which were all too much loaded with finery and ornaments, to make on me at least, the intended impression. – Karl Philipp Moritz • As not every instance of similitude can be considered as a proof of imitation, so not every imitation ought to be stigmatised as plagiarism. The adoption of a noble sentiment, or the insertion of a borrowed ornament, may sometimes display so much judgment as will almost compensate for invention; and an inferior genius may, without any imputation of servility, pursue the paths of the ancients, provided he declines to tread in their footsteps. – Samuel Johnson • As the vine which has long twined its graceful foliage about the oak and been lifted by it into sunshine, will, when the hardy plant is rifted by the thunderbolt, cling round it with its caressing tendrils and bind up its shattered boughs, so is it beautifully ordered by Providence that woman, who is the mere dependent and ornament of man in his happier hours, should be his stay and solace when smitten with sudden calamity, winding herself into the rugged recesses of his nature, tenderly supporting the drooping head, and binding up the broken heart. – Washington Irving • At most, the greatest persons are but great wens, and excrescences; men of wit and delightful conversation, but as morals for ornament, except they be so incorporated into the body of the world that they contribute something to the sustentation of the whole. – John Donne

It is a kind of contempt of those with whom we converse, to frequent their company in uncomely apparel; but, at the same time, avoid all affectation, vanity, curiosity, or levity in your dress. Keep yourself always, as much as possible, on the side of plainness and modesty, which, without doubt, is the greatest ornament of beauty, and the best excuse for the want of it. – Saint Francis de Sales • Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously with any one. – Bahá’u’lláh • Beauty doesn’t need ornaments. Softness can’t bear the weight of ornaments. – Munshi Premchand • beauty is the projection of ugliness and by developing certain monstrosities we obtain the purest ornaments. – Jean Genet • Beside all the moral benefit which we may expect from the farmer’s profession, when a man enters it considerately, this promised the conquering of the soil, plenty, and beyond this, the adorning of the country with every advantage and ornament which labor, ingenuity, and affection for a man’s home, could suggest. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • But now sustainability is such a political category that it’s getting more and more difficult to think about it in a serious way. Sustainability has become an ornament. – Rem Koolhaas • But the building’s identity resided in the ornament. – Louis Sullivan • But the greatest error of all the rest is the mistaking or misplacing of the last or farthest end of knowledge: for men have entered into a desire of learning and knowledge, sometimes upon a natural curiosity and inquisitive appetite; sometimes to entertain their minds with variety and delight; sometimes for ornament and reputation; and sometimes to enable them to victory of wit and contradiction; and most times for lucre and profession; and seldom sincerely to give a true account of their gift of reason, to the benefit and use of men. – Francis Bacon • By the word simplicity, is not always meant folly or ignorance; but often, pure and upright Nature, free from artifice, craft or deceitful ornament. – Benjamin Franklin

[clickbank-storefront-bestselling] • Charity is the perfection and ornament of religion. – Joseph Addison • Christmas garland and a rock?” he said, a smile in his voice.”Why not an ornament?” “Wolves aren’t fragile,” I told him. “And they’re… stubbon and hard to move – Patricia Briggs • Christmas is a box of tree ornaments that have become part of the family. – Charles M. Schulz • Clearness is the ornament of deep thought. – Luc de Clapiers • Clearness ornaments profound thoughts. – Luc de Clapiers • Coordinating there Events and objects with remote events And vanished objects. Making ornaments Of accidents and possibilities. – Vladimir Nabokov • Culture is not just an ornament; it is the expression of a nation’s character, and at the same time it is a powerful instrument to mould character. The end of culture is right living. – W. Somerset Maugham • Don’t let your heart depend on things That ornament life in a fleeting way! He who possesses, let him learn to lose, He who is fortunate, let him learn pain. – Friedrich Schiller • Education gives sobriety to the young, comfort to the old, riches to the poor and is an ornament to the rich. – Diogenes • Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage. – Joseph Addison • Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. – Aristotle • Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul. – Saint Augustine • Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man. – Seneca the Younger • Even in the scorched and frozen world of the dead after the holocaust The wheel as it turns goes on accreting ornaments. – Robert Pinsky • Fierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord. – Radhanath Swami • Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way. – Charles Kingsley • Gardening is a luxury occupation: an ornament, not a necessity, of life…. Fortunate gardener, who may preoccupy himself solely with beauty in these difficult and ugly days! He is one of the few people left in this distressful world to carry on the tradition of elegance and charm. A useless member of society, considered in terms of economics, he must not be denied his rightful place. He deserves to share it, however humbly, with the painter and poet. – Vita Sackville-West • God help us! it is a foolish little thing, this human life, at the best; and it is half ridiculous and half pitiful to see what importance we ascribe to it, and to its little ornaments and distinctions. – Francis Jeffrey, Lord Jeffrey • Greatness of Soul seems therefore to be as it were a crowning ornament of the virtues; it enhances their greatness, and it cannot exist without them. Hence it is hard to be truly great-souled, for greatness of soul is impossible without moral nobility. – Aristotle • He might have proved a useful adjunct, if not an ornament to society. – Charles Lamb • He removes the greatest ornament of friendship who takes away from it respect. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it.

Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one. – Arthur Golden • Hostility towards Microsoft is not difficult to find on the Net, and it blends two strains: resentful people who feel Microsoft is too powerful, and disdainful people who think it’s tacky. This is all strongly reminiscent of the heyday of Communism and Socialism, when the bourgeoisie were hated from both ends: by the proles, because they had all the money, and by the intelligentsia, because of their tendency to spend it on lawn ornaments. Microsoft is the very embodiment of modern high-tech prosperity – it is, in a word, bourgeois – and so it attracts all of the same gripes. – Neal Stephenson • How much more doth beauty beauteous seem by that sweet ornament which truth doth give! – William Shakespeare • Humility is an ornament which attracts Krishna’s heart. Beginning of all knowledge comes from humility. – Radhanath Swami • Hypocrisy itself does great honor, or rather justice, to religion, and tacitly acknowledges it to be an ornament to human nature. The hypocrite would not be at so much pains to put on the appearance of virtue, if he did not know it was the most proper and effectual means to gain the love and esteem of mankind. – Joseph Addison • I am a pretty, useless ornament who always believed she’d have a man to take care of her. – Virginia C. Andrews • I am glad that the life of pandas is so dull by human standards, for our efforts at conservation have little moral value if we preserve creatures only as human ornaments; I shall be impressed when we show solicitude for warty toads and slithering worms. – Stephen Jay Gould • I believe that organized religion is an ornament to the truth, and that aesthetics are part of its power. – Andrew Solomon • I believe the right question to ask, respecting all ornament, is simply this; was it done with enjoyment, was the carver happy while he was about it? – John Ruskin • I cannot however help repeating Piety, because I think it indispensible. Religion in a Family is at once its brightest Ornament & its best Security. – Samuel Adams • I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge. – Henry David Thoreau • I had hardly expected so dolichocephalic a skull or such well-marked supra-orbital development. Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure? A cast of your skull, sir, until the original is available, would be an ornament to any anthropological museum. It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull. – Arthur Conan Doyle • I have emerged victorious from my thirty years of struggle. I have freed mankind from superfluous ornament. – Adolf Loos • I hold every man a debtor to his profession; from the which as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto. – Francis Bacon • I like ornament at the right time, but I don’t want a poem to be made out of decoration … When I read the poems that matter to me, it stuns me how much the presence of the heart-in all its forms-is endlessly available there. To experience ourselves in an important way just knocks me out. It puzzles me why people have given that up for cleverness. Some of them are ingenious, more ingenious than I am, but so many of them aren’t any good at being alive. – Jack Gilbert • I look for myself but find no one. I belong to the chrysanthemum hour of bright flowers placed in tall vases. I should make an ornament of my soul. – Fernando Pessoa • I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world? – William Morris • I never rebel so much against France as not to regard Paris with a friendly eye; she has had my heart since my childhood… I love her tenderly, even to her warts and her spots. I am French only by this great city: the glory of France, and one of the noblest ornaments of the world. – Michel de Montaigne • I read the newspapers with lively interest. It is seldom that they are absolutely, point-blank wrong. That is the popular belief, but those who are in the know can usually discern an embryo of truth, a little grit of fact, like the core of a pearl, round which have been deposited the delicate layers of ornament. – Evelyn Waugh • I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce. – Mark Twain • I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament. – Alanis Morissette • I think that ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’ was mentally taxing, if only because I had to go to a Christmas party shortly after I had wrapped photography in Romania at two in the morning as the Ghost Rider. The invitation had a Christmas ornament on it with Ghost Rider’s face on it as a tree. – Nicolas Cage • I think that the new models of Chevrolet should have Barney Frank as a hood ornament. – Sean Hannity • I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one’s body as an instrument rather than just an ornament. – Alanis Morissette • I try to teach my students style, but always as a part of life, not as ornament. Style has to come out of communicating coherent thought, not in sticking little flowers on speeches. Style and substance and a sense of life are the things literature is composed of. One must use one’s own personality in relationship to life and language, of course, and everyone has such a relationship. Some people find it, some don’t find it, but it’s there. – Marguerite Young • I want to try to come away from that one directional, clear rectangular form. It’s not used because it’s the most beautiful form; it’s just the practical thing. That’s why our TVs are rectangles. Even in modern architecture, they want us to believe, “That’s the nicest, most beautiful thing.” I love modern architecture, but actually it’s that they cannot afford amorphous shapes or ornaments. – Pipilotti Rist • I write abundantly. And then my next step is to struggle to reduce the ornament, to reduce the abundance-to prune the book, in other words, the way one prunes a tree-so it can grow. This is my idea of a book. – James Wright • If the bees which seek the liquid oozing from the head of a lust-intoxicated elephant are driven away by the flapping of his ears, then the elephant has lost only the ornament of his head. The bees are quite happy in the lotus filled lake. – Chanakya • If the next car passed is blue, Violet will be okay, she thought. If it’s red, A will do something horrible to her. She heard a growl of an engine and shut her eyes, afraid to see what the future might hold. She’d never cared so much about anything in her life. Just as the car was passing, she opened her eyes and saw a Mercedes hood ornament. She let out a long sigh, tears coming to her eyes once more. The car was blue. – Sara Shepard • If those millions squandered on designing missionaries had been deposited in funds for the support of yourselves, when old age, misfortune, or sickness (from which none are exempt,) overtakes you, or for the distressed of your race, what a heaven of happiness you would have created on earth: ye would now be an ornament to your sex, and ages to come would call you blessed. But it is in vain to try – a priest-ridden female is lost to reason. Why? because she has surrendered her reason to the … missionaries … the orthodox; they are the grand deceivers. – Anne Royall • I’m a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it! – Hoda Kotb • In 1979, postmodernism lost its understanding of the meaning of ornament. It degenerated into kitsch applique. – Charles Jencks • In railway halls, on pavements near the traffic, They beg, their eyes made big by empty staring And only measuring Time , like the blank clock. No, I shall weave no tracery of pen-ornament To make them birds upon my singing tree: Time merely drives these lives which do not live As tides push rotten stuff along the shore. – Stephen Spender • In religion, What damned error but some sober brow Will bless it, and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? – William Shakespeare • In religions which have lost their creative spark, the gods eventually become no more than poetic motifs or ornaments for decorating human solitude and walls. – Nikos Kazantzakis • In violence there is often the quality of yearning – the yearning for completion. For closure. For that which is absent and would if present bring to fulfillment. For the body without which the wing is a useless frozen ornament. (“A Short Guide To The City”) – Peter Straub • Indeed the river is a perpetual gala, and boasts each month a new ornament. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit. – Henry David Thoreau • It isn’t money itself that causes the trouble, but the use of money as votive offering and pagan ornament. – Lewis H. Lapham • It takes talent to please the people in a sermon by a flowery style, a cheerful ethic, brilliant sallies and lively descriptions; but such a talent is inadequate. A better sort of talent neglects these extraneous ornaments, unworthy to be used in the service of the Gospel: such a preacher’s sermon will be simple, strong and Christian. – Jean de la Bruyere • Jewelry and profuse ornaments are unmistakable evidences of vulgarity. – Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton • Learning maketh young men temperate, is the comfort of old age, standing for wealth with poverty, and serving as an ornament to riches. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • Let us give today first the vital things of life and all the grace and ornaments of life will follow. – Mahatma Gandhi • Libel actions, when we look at them in perspective, are an ornament of a civilized society. They have replaced, after all, at least in most cases, a resort to weapons in defense of a reputation. – Henry Anatole Grunwald • Man doth seek a triple perfection: first a sensual, consisting in those things which very life itself requireth either as necessary supplements, or as beauties and ornaments thereof; then an intellectual, consisting in those things which none underneath man is either capable of or acquainted with; lastly a spiritual and divine, consisting in those things whereunto we tend by supernatural means here, but cannot here attain unto them. – Richard Hooker • Mannerism is not character, and affectation is the avowed enemy of grace. Every dancer ought to regard his laborious art as a link in the chain of beauty, as a useful ornament for the stage, and this, in turn, as an important element in the spiritual development of nations. – August Bournonville • Manners are the ornament of action. – Samuel Smiles • Men subsequently put whatever is newly learned or experienced to use as a plowshare, perhaps even as a weapon: but women immediately include it among their ornaments. – Friedrich Nietzsche • Men use a new lesson or experience later on as a ploughshare or perhaps also as a weapon; women at once make it into an ornament. – Friedrich Nietzsche • Modernism, rebelling against the ornament of the 19th century, limited the vocabulary of the designer. Modernism emphasized straight lines, eliminating the expressive S curve. This made it harder to communicate emotions through design. – Eva Zeisel • Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue. – Joseph Addison • Modesty is the richest ornament of a woman … the want of it is her greatest deformity. – Charles Caleb Colton • Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything. – Sivananda • Moral excellence is an ornament for personal beauty; righteous conduct, for high birth; success for learning; and proper spending for wealth. – Chanakya • More than any gift or toy, ornament of tree, let us resolve that this Christmas shall be, like that first Christmas, a celebration of interior treasures. – Ronald Reagan • Most works are most beautiful without ornament. – Walt Whitman • My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • Nine times out of ten, I’m trying to meet someone else’s expectations, whether it’s the director or the writer or the animator, when I go back in to re-record a line. I’m the icing on the cake, but the cake is the thing. I’m really just a hood ornament on a very solid vehicle. – Adrian Pasdar • No one has ever been accused for not providing ornaments, but for those who neglect their neighbour a hell awaits with an inextinguishable fire and torment in the company of the demons. Do not, therefore, adorn the church and ignore your afflicted brother, for he is the most precious temple of all. – Saint John Chrysostom • No ornament of a house can compare with books; they are constant company in a room, even when you are not reading them. – Harriet Beecher Stowe • Nobility is a graceful ornament to the civil order. It is the Corinthian capital of polished society. – Edmund Burke • Non -violence is infinitely superior to violence , forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness is the ornament. – Mahatma Gandhi • Nor do apophthegms only serve for ornament and delight, but also for action and civil use, as being the edge-tools of speech which cut and penetrate the knots of business and affairs: for occasions have their revolutions, and what has once been advantageously used may be so again, either as an old thing or a new one. – Francis Bacon • Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament. – Amos Bronson Alcott • O vanity, how little is thy force acknowledged or thy operations discerned! How wantonly dost thou deceive mankind under different disguises! Sometimes thou dost wear the face of pity; sometimes of generosity; nay, thou hast the assurance to put on those glorious ornaments which belong only to heroic virtue. – Henry Fielding • Of chastity, the ornaments are chaste. – William Shakespeare • Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament. – Marilyn Monroe • On the meeting point of two worlds, the ornament of Turkish homeland, the treasure of Turkish history, the city cherished by the Turkish nation, İstanbul, has its place in the hearts of all citizens. – Mustafa Kemal Ataturk • One of the first principles of decorative art is that in all manufactures ornament must hold a place subordinate to that of utility; and when, by its exuberance, ornament interferes with utility, it is misplaced and vulgar. – George Mason • One of the things I’ve always loved about New York is there is so much precedent for ornament on industrial buildings. – Annabelle Selldorf • Opinions: men’s thoughts about great subjects. Taste: their thoughts about small ones: dress, behavior, amusements, ornaments. – George Eliot • Ornament is but the guiled shore to a most dangerous sea. – William Shakespeare • Ornaments were invented by modesty. – Joseph Joubert • Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture. – Amos Bronson Alcott • Patience ornaments the woman and proves the man. – Tertullian • Plato defines melody to consist of harmony, number and words: harmony naked of itself, words the ornament of harmony, number the common friend and uniter of them both. – John Dowland • Plutarch has a fine expression, with regard to some woman of learning, humility, and virtue;–that her ornaments were such as might be purchased without money, and would render any woman’s life both glorious and happy. – Laurence Sterne • Poets like painters, thus unskilled to trace The naked nature and the living grace, With gold and jewels cover ev’ry part, And hide with ornaments their want of art. True wit is Nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed. – Alexander Pope • Poverty was an ornament on a learned man like a red ribbon on a white horse. – Anzia Yezierska • Presently he rose and approached the case before which she stood. Its glass shelves were crowded with small broken objects —hardly recognisable domestic utensils, ornaments and personal trifles — made of glass, of clay, of discoloured bronze and other time-blurred substances. ‘It seems cruel,’ she said, ‘that after a while nothing matters… any more than these little things, that used to be necessary and important to forgotten people, and now have to be guessed at under a magnifying glass and labeled: “Use unknown”.’ – Edith Wharton • Pretty conceptions, fine metaphors, glittering expressions, and something of a neat cast of verse are properly the dress, gems, or loose ornaments of poetry. – Alexander Pope • Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist’s inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated…The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life… The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man’s spiritual strength. – Leo Tolstoy • Rhime being no necessary Adjunct or true Ornament of Poem or good Verse, in longer Works especially, but the Invention of a barbarous Age, to set off wretched matter and lame Meeter…the troublesom and modern bondage of Rimeing. – John Milton • Rich people don’t have to have a life-and-death relationship with the truth and its questions; they can ignore the truth and still thrive materially. I am not surprised many of them understand literature only as an ornament. Life is an ornament to them, relationships are ornaments, their “work” is but a flimsy, pretty ornament meant to momentarily thrill and capture attention. Why didn’t I reread my F. Scott Fitzgerald sooner? I might have saved myself some time. – Sergio Troncoso • Right on to the New Period vineyard arbors were the centre and chief ornament of all gardens. – Marie-Luise Gothein • Sensible men show their sense by saying much in few words. If noble actions are the substance of life, good sayings are its ornament and guide. – Charles Simmons • Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions. – Ann Radcliffe • Shame is an ornament to the young; a disgrace to the old. – Aristotle • She had a bracelet on one taper arm, which would fall down over her round wrist. Mr. Thornton watched the replacing of this troublesome ornament with far more attention than he listened to her father. It seemed as if it fascinated him to see her push it up impatiently, until it tightened her soft flesh; and then to mark the loosening—the fall. He could almost have exclaimed—’There it goes, again! – Elizabeth Gaskell • She was a phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight, A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment’s ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilights too her dusky hair, But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn. – William Wordsworth • Silence is an ornament for women. – Sophocles • Simplicity is not about making something without ornament, but rather about making something very complex, then slicing elements away, until you reveal the very essence. – Christoph Niemann • So may the outward shows be least themselves: The world is still deceived with ornament. In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, But, being seasoned with a gracious voice, Obscures the show of evil? In religion, What damned error, but some sober brow Will bless it and approve it with a text, Hiding the grossness with fair ornament? There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. – William Shakespeare • So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament. – William Shakespeare • Some Christmas tree ornaments do more than glitter and glow, they represent a gift of love given a long time ago – Tom Baker • Some men covet knowledge out of a natural curiosity and inquisitive temper; some to entertain the mind with variety and delight; some for ornament and reputation; some for victory and contention; many for lucre and a livelihood; and but few for employing the Divine gift of reason to the use and benefit of mankind. – Francis Bacon • Studies are the food of youth, the delight of old age; the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity; a delight at home, and no hindrance abroad; they are companions by night, and in travel, and in the country. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • Sustainability has become an ornament. – Rem Koolhaas • That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander’s mark was ever yet the fair; The ornament of beauty is suspect, A crow that flies in heaven’s sweetest air. – William Shakespeare • The ancients, who in these matters were not perhaps such blockheads as some may conceive, considered poetical quotation as one of the requisite ornaments of oratory. – Isaac D’Israeli • The art of decoration requires the most sophisticated and self-indulgent skills. Its aim has always been to sate the senses as gloriously as possible. … ornament is not only a source of sensuous pleasure; it supplies a necessary kind of magic to people and places that lack it. More than just a dread of empty spaces has led to the urge to decorate; it is the fear of empty selves. – Ada Louise Huxtable • The arts alone give direct access to experience. To eliminate them from education – or worse, to tolerate them as cultural ornaments – is antieducational obscurantism. It is foisted on us by the pedants and snobs of Hellenistic Greece who considered artistic performance fit only for slaves. – Peter Drucker • The Arts and Sciences, essential to the prosperity of the State and to the ornament of human life, have a primary claim to the encouragement of every lover of his country and mankind. – George Washington • The brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth. – Alphonsus Liguori • The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church’s greatest ornament. – Igor Stravinsky • The connoisseur of art must be able to appreciate what is simply beautiful, but the common run of people is satisfied with ornament. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • The Cross isn’t an ornament, mere symbol. It’s the mystery of God’s love, that He died for our sins. – Pope Francis • The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. – James Irwin • The economy is still substantially that of the fur trade, still based on the same general kinds of commercial items: technology, weapons, ornaments, novelties, and drugs. The one great difference is that by now the revolution has deprived the mass of consumers of any independent access to the staples of life: clothing, shelter, food, even water. Air access remains the only necessity that the average user can still get for himself, and the revolution has imposed a heavy tax on that by way of pollution. Commercial conquest is far more thorough and final than military defeat. – Wendell Berry • The farmer and the gardener are both busy, the gardener perhaps the more excitable of the two, for he is more of the amateur, concerned with the creation of beauty rather than with the providing of food. Gardening is a luxury occupation; an ornament, not a necessity, of life. – Vita Sackville-West • The feel of the place was deep, the prehistoric heartbeat of the rocks complicating the music, the people bright, all different kinds of dancers, smilers, swayers, swirlers, smokers, beer-drinking boppers, tripsters, spinners. I looked back at the crowd…and saw the show for a moment as a jewel…like a gem in a bracelet: an ornament on the body of the country, glittering in the coming darkness. – Jason Burke • The great end of prudence is to give cheerfulness to those hours which splendour cannot gild, and acclamation cannot exhilarate; those soft intervals of unbended amusement, in which a man shrinks to his natural dimensions, and throws aside the ornaments or disguises which he feels in privacy to be useless incumbrances, and to lose all effect when they become familiar. To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labour tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution. – Samuel Johnson • The greatest ornament of an illustrious life is modesty and humility, which go a great way in the character even of the most exalted princes. – Napoleon Bonaparte • The grossest form of this injury of the body to ornament it, is in tattooing. Next, the piercing the ear all around its rim, piercing the nose and the lips to introduce rings or bars of jewelry. – Julia McNair Wright • The hair is the finest ornament women have. Of old, virgins used to wear it loose, except when they were in mourning. – Martin Luther • The hair is the richest ornament of women. – Martin Luther • The heroic soul does not sell its justice and its nobleness. It does not ask to dine nicely and to sleep warm. The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough. Poverty is its ornament. It does not need plenty, and can very well abide its loss. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The history of most women is hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence. – Virginia Woolf • The knowledge of the past times and of the places of the earth is both an ornament and nutriment to the human mind. – Leonardo da Vinci • The ‘leisured’ wife was a badge of achievement, the ornament to hard work and virtue for families on the way up. – Hilda Scott • The modern majesty consists in work. What a man can do is his greatest ornament, and he always consults his dignity by doing it. – Thomas Carlyle • The modern university does not exist to teach alone…It exists also to serve the democracy of which it is a product and an ornament…The university rests on the public will and on public appreciation. – Nicholas Murray Butler • The music, and the banquet, and the wine– The garlands, the rose odors, and the flowers, The sparkling eyes, and flashing ornaments– The white arms and the raven hair–the braids, And bracelets; swan-like bosoms, and the necklace, An India in itself, yet dazzling not. – Lord Byron • The only really Christian art is that which, like St. Francis, does not fear being wedded to poverty. This rises far above art-as-ornament. – Andre Gide • The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The ornament of beauty, Shakespeare wrote, is suspect. And he was right. But beauty itself, unadorned and unaffected, is sacred, I think, worthy of our awe and our loyalty. – Dennis Lehane • The ornaments of our homes are the friends that visit it – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The peoples of the old world have their cities built for times gone by, when railroads and gunpowder were unknown. We can have cities for the new age that has come, adopted to its better conditions of use and ornament. We want, therefore, a city planning profession. – Horace Bushnell • The pictures placed for ornament and use, The twelve good rules, the royal game of goose. – Oliver Goldsmith • The quasi-peaceable gentleman of leisure, then, not only consumes of the staff of life beyond the minimum required for subsistence and physical efficiency, but his consumption also undergoes a specialisation as regards the quality of the goods consumed. He consumes freely and of the best, in food, drink, narcotics, shelter, services, ornaments, apparel, weapons and accoutrements, amusements, amulets, and idols or divinities. – Thorstein Veblen • The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity. – Mahatma Gandhi • The real Rose Hovick was seriously mentally disturbed; June Havoc called her a beautiful little ornament that was damaged. – Karen Abbott • The royal navy of England hath ever been its greatest defence and ornament; it is its ancient and natural strength, – the floating bulwark of our island. – William Blackstone • The very design of the gospel doth tend to self-abasing; and the work of grace is begun and carried on in humiliation. Humility is not a mere ornament of a Christian, but an essential part of the new creature: it is a contradiction to be a sanctified man, or a true Christian, and not humble. – Richard Baxter • The weak shows his strength and hides his weaknesses; the magnificent exhibits his weaknesses like ornaments. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb • The whole of heraldry and of chivalry is in courtesy. A man of fine manners shall pronounce your name with all the ornament that titles of nobility could ever add. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The world would be astonished if it knew how great a proportion of its brightest ornaments, of those distinguished even in popular estimation for wisdom and virtue, are complete sceptics in religion. – John Stuart Mill • The world, which the Greeks called Beauty, has been made such by being gradually divested of every ornament which was not fitted to endure. – Henry David Thoreau • Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer’s day. – Oscar Wilde • There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea. First, there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament, but are clearly revealed, a charm felt in Japanese architecture….The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods. – Gustav Stickley • There is a city in which you find everything you desire-handsome people, pleasures, ornaments of every kind-all that the natural person craves. However, you cannot find a single wise person there. – Rumi • There is material enough in a single flower for the ornament of a score of cathedrals. – John Ruskin • There is no doubt that Greek and Latin are great and handsome ornaments, but we buy them too dear. – Michel de Montaigne • There was very little about her face and figure that was in any way remarkable, but it was the sort of face which, when animated by conversation or laughter, is completely transformed. She had a lovely disposition, a quick mind and a fondness for the comical. She was always very ready to smile and, since a smile is the most becoming ornament that any lady can wear, she had been known upon occasion to outshine women who were acknowledged beauties in three countries. – Susanna Clarke • There were details like clothing, hair styles and the fragile objects that hardly ever survive for the archaeologist-musical instruments, bows and arrows, and body ornaments depicted as they were worn… No amounts of stone and bone could yield the kinds of information that the paintings gave so freely – Mary Leakey • Therefore, I bind these lies and slanderous accusations to my person as an ornament; it belongs to my Christian profession to be vilified, slandered, reproached and reviled, and since all this is nothing but that, as God and my conscience testify, I rejoice in being reproached for Christ’s sake. – John Bunyan • These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits. – Marcus Tullius Cicero • They are done merely for ornament. … the common people regard them as supernatural. – Xunzi • Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art. – Robert Schumann • To be apt in quotation is a splendid and dangerous gift. Splendid, because it ornaments a man’s speech with other men’s jewels; dangerous, for the same reason. – Robertson Davies • to become aware of the ineffable is to part company with words…the tangent to the curve of human experience lies beyond the limits of language. the world of things we perceive is but a veil. It’s flutter is music, its ornament science, but what it conceals is inscrutable. It’s silence remains unbroken; no words can carry it away. Sometimes we wish the world could cry and tell us about that which made it pregnant with fear–filling grandeur. Sometimes we wish our own heart would speak of that which made it heavy with wonder. – Abraham Joshua Heschel • To Forget Venice is a tour de force of ventriloquism. Elegant, contemporary, and wry, the voice at its center is also capable of disarming flights of imagination as it enters and inhabits other lives across time and gender. The glittering, fetid city emerges as a complex metaphor for the human heart’s simultaneous tenderness and capacity for cruelty, its ‘silver glow / a local specialty: filth / disguised as ornament.’ This Venice is unforgettable. – Chase Twichell • To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affection; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. • Tragedy was foresworn, in ritual denial of the ripe knowledge that we are drawing away from one another, that we share only one thing, share the fear of belonging to another, or to others, or to God; love or money, tender equated in advertising and the world, where only money is currency, and under dead trees and brittle ornaments prehensile hands exchange forgeries of what the heart dare not surrender. – William Gaddis • True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park. At its best it is an emphasis of structure, a realization in graceful terms of the nature of that which is ornamented – Frank Lloyd Wright • True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism. – Henry David Thoreau • Truth is not only a man’s ornament but his instrument; it is the great man’s glory, and the poor man’s stock: a man’s truth is his livelihood, his recommendation, his letters of credit. – Benjamin Whichcote • We all originally came from the woods! it is hard to eradicate from any of us the old taste for the tattoo and the war-paint; and the moment that money gets into our pockets, it somehow or another breaks out in ornaments on our person, without always giving refinement to our manners. – Edwin Percy Whipple • We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet. Thus, in his sonnets, the lays of birds, the scents and dyes of flowers, he finds to be the shadow of his beloved; time, which keeps her from him, is his chest; the suspicion she has awakened, is her ornament – Ralph Waldo Emerson • We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine. – Henry David Thoreau • We hew and saw and plane facts to make them dovetail with our prejudices, so that they become mere ornaments with which to parade our objectivity. – Paul Eldridge • We know much of a writer by his style. An open and imperious disposition is shown in short sentences, direct and energetic. A secretive and proud mind is cold and obscure in style. An affectionate and imaginative nature pours out luxuriantly, and blossoms all over with ornament. – Henry Ward Beecher • We love to see any redness in the vegetation of the temperate zone. It is the color of colors. This plant speaks to our blood….What a perfect maturity it arrives at! It is the emblem of a successful life concluded by a death not premature, which is an ornament to Nature. What if we were to mature as perfectly, root and branch, glowing in the midst of our decay, like the poke! – Henry David Thoreau • We meet With few utterly dull and stupid souls: the sublime and transcendent are still fewer; the generality of mankind stand between these two extremes: the interval is filled with multitudes of ordinary geniuses, but all very useful, and the ornaments and supports of the commonwealth. – Jean de la Bruyere • We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it. Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. We can be sure that whoever sneers at her name as if she were the ornament of a bourgeois past — whether he admits it or not — can no longer pray and soon will no longer be able to love. – Hans Urs von Balthasar • We tend to treat our knowledge as personal property to be protected and defended. It is an ornament that allows us to rise in the pecking order. […] We take what we know a little too seriously. – Nassim Nicholas Taleb • What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities. – Walter Scott • What greater ornament to a son than a father’s glory, or to a father than a son’s honorable conduct? – Sophocles • What I resist is techniques. I find techniques very problematic. So when critics talk about my work in those terms, I find that they miss the condition. I am comfortable with the notion of pattern and ornament as a system of organization, [but] for me it acts as a textile. So it’s not about pattern, but the notion of architecture through the lens of textile, rather than architecture through the lens of brick and mortar. – David Adjaye • What on earth is modern exegesis up to? Oh, little lazy one! Some red wine and up! Off you go, brandishing your fork, stripped of Ophelia’s useless ornaments, fire in your large nostrils, out to rake the muck of metaphors. – Louis Aragon • When a rainbow appears vividly in the sky, you can see its beautiful colors, yet you could not wear as clothing or put it on as an ornament. It arises through the conjunction of various factors, but there is nothing about it that can be grasped. Likewise, thoughts that arise in the mind have no tangible existence or intrinsic solidity. There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave. – Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche • When a slave begins to take pride in his fetters and hugs them like precious ornaments, the triumph of the slave-owner is complete. – Mahatma Gandhi • Where virtue is, sensibility is the ornament and becoming attire of virtue. On certain occasions it may almost be said to become virtue. But sensibility and all the amiable qualities may likewise become, and too often have become, the panders of vice and the instruments of seduction. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge • Why would you want to keep the bluebird houses mounted in a place that you now know is unsafe for them? Bluebirds are not ornaments for pictures, they are living things that deserve your best effort if you are going to be a landlord to them. There is no magic spell that will protect those bluebirds–they have to depend on you or they are doomed. – Kathy Griffin • Wine is a part of society because it provides a basis not only for a morality but also for an environment; it is an ornament in the slightest ceremonials of French daily life, from the snack to the feast, from the conversation at the local cafT to the speech at a formal dinner. – Roland Barthes • Wise sayings are not only for ornament, but for action and business, having a point or edge, whereby knots in business are pierced and discovered. – Francis Bacon • Woman is the heart of humanity … its grace, ornament, and solace. – Samuel Smiles • Woman, to women silence is the best ornament. – Sophocles • You see the Earth as a bright blue and white Christmas tree ornament in the black sky. It’s so small and so fragile – you realize that on that small spot is everything that means everything to you; all of history and art and death and birth and love. – Rusty Schweickart • You see, for me [art]’s not one of life’s ornaments, rococo relaxation to be greeted affably after a day of hard work; I’m inverted on this : for me it’s my very breath, the one thing necessary, and all else is excretion and a latrine. – Arno Hintjens • You talk to me in parables. You may have known that I’m no wordy man, Fine speeches are the instruments of knaves Or fools that use them, when they want good sense; But honesty Needs no disguise nor ornament: be plain. – Thomas Otway • You’ll see everything from gold teeth to hood ornaments. It’s almost like Halloween during August. – David Carson

[todaybharatnews]

via Today Bharat nbsp; Surender Reddyrsquo;s could-have-been magnum opus is not boring. Yet, for the budget it had, the storytelling and narrative threads leave a lot to be desired. nbsp; Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is a period drama that follows our standard template: a hero who is larger than life faced with an insurmountable problem that is larger than life. There are supporting roles which feed the herorsquo;s larger than life image and make it larger than the already larger than life image. Based on Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddyrsquo;s heroic tale from the mid-18th century, the movie makes some interesting decisions. Drama is one of them. A 10-minute nationalistic fervour to close the screenplay is another. They could have done away with both, for the protagonistrsquo;s story already had enough thump in it. Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy has two distinct parts. A majority of the movie, true to the story, is about his armed rebellion at the helm of a band of peasants against the British East India Company. Most of the movie therefore steers clear of nationalistic clarion calls or from invoking patriotic fervour (the promotion and the teaser do lead us to believe the movie is largely about that, but it isnrsquo;t). As the story goes, Narasimha Reddy stirs a rebellion of the peasants and local satraps against the agrarian taxation and other laws with respect to their land rights brought into effect by the Britishers. He indulges in successful looting of their treasury, even winning a battle or two on the way, reclaiming the farmersrsquo; grain that had been plundered from them. Narasimha Reddy, whose stories are folklore in the Rayalaseema region, did evoke fear in the British and escaped arrest for a long time, leading a few successful campaigns as well. (You donrsquo;t put the severed head of a leader on display for three decades, unless he has done something tremendously great. So, sure, the Britishers did loathe him.) The movie sadly doesnrsquo;t give itself the opportunity to go beyond the Wikipedia information to explore the social conditions ndash; blame it on the oft-beaten theme that most of us barely find British cruelty of those times novel. Distressed farmers, children crying for food, men burnt alive or hanged, villages pillaged, British accent, ruthless power, the stereotypical Indians loyalist to the Company officers while praising the Indian heroes ndash; all of these are tropes the average moviegoer knows like the back of his hand. Narasimha Reddy himself doesnrsquo;t really shine through ndash; yes, he saves people, makes horses listen to him, and is generally kind, but once again, his character arc becomes a classic stereotype. Tamannaah (as Lakshmi) gets a meaty role as a dancer who is in love with Narasimha Reddy. Just when you wonder whether she was a mere showpiece, the scriptwriters give her role an important twist. Her contribution, coupled with the nod to tribal women battling alongside Narasimha Reddy, show how our filmmakers are trying (albeit not so convincingly) to course-correct from their patriarchal mindset. Nayanthara plays Siddhamma, the protagonistrsquo;s wife, the two married as children and then kept away for decades because of astrology, before being brought together when the elders decide. Things like that make you wonder how even celebrated men of the times were part of enormously entrenched patriarchal systems of yore. Nayanthararsquo;s role is largely about being the dutiful wife who adores her husband, while being decked in heavy clothing and ornamentation. Oh yes, and for a childbirth scene exactly when there is enemy at the gates and cannon blasting through the ramparts of the fort. We have a penchant for earth-shattering drama, donrsquo;t we? The second half of the movie is predominantly one battle scene after the other shot with enormous creative liberties. It is hard to imagine our history completely ignored battles of the scale depicted in the movie. This is where it is hard for the common viewer to draw lines between reality and myth. You may read a little more on Narasimha Reddyrsquo;s rebellion here and make your own judgment on whether it was an armed rebellion of peasants (which is the storyline the movie maintains for long parts) or the first unsung battle of independence (which is how the movie ends). The stellar cast of the movie barely leaves any scope for the likes of Amitabh Bachchan (insignificant role) and Vijay Sethupathy (wasted) to make a dent. But the character that really stands out for its complex shades is that of Avuku Raju, done brilliantly by Sudeep. The movie springs several plot surprises, interesting ones too, that prevent the story from turning into a completely predictable bore. Jagapathi Babu as always stands out amongst the support cast. However, the drama ndash; some of it apocryphal, the whole charade of following the tradition of lighting a lamp on the hill, for example ndash; takes away from the real story. Chiranjeevi as the venerated central character shows he has screen presence and can own the frames. The movie uses numerous action scenes to further his legend (even though by now most of us can make out the difference between the hero and the stunt double). Nevertheless, kudos to Greg Powell, Lee Whittaker and Ram-Laxman for pulling off spectacular stunts, smooth, stylish and non-monotonous despite the excessive usage of freeze-frames and slow-mos. The cinematography by Rathnavelu too ensures that the grandeur of the movie ndash; whether in the night battle scenes or in the peremptory festival celebration songs ndash; sparkles through. The BGM/songs are not really breathtaking but average; thatrsquo;s a disappointment considering it was someone of the stature of Amit Trivedi along with Julius Packiam who was entrusted with the task. However, one would have hoped for better dialogues for a hero known for his versatile acting prowess. The ending monologue is soulless despite the opportunity to leave us with lasting dialogues. Thankfully, really thankfully, the movie doesnrsquo;t overdo the climax ndash; the public hanging of Narasimha Reddy. Part of the reason is that the movie constantly betrays a paranoia of becoming too long to be interesting. That explains the patchy editing too. All this saved time is drained into building the heroism and slow-mo stunts of the protagonist ndash; enjoyable but not novel in any way. Surender Reddyrsquo;s could-have-been magnum opus, all in all, is not boring. It goes up and down, blows hot and cold. Yet, for the kind of budget it had, the moviersquo;s storytelling and narrative threads leave a lot to be desired. The screenplay isnrsquo;t a bad job but somewhere there is a lack of clarity as to what it wanted to become ndash; a war movie or a social period nationalistic drama. I had wondered at one point if the director would have the courage to give it a Tarantino-esque anti-history twist as in Inglourious Basterds. Chiranjeevi still remains a man who can helm a magnanimous tale but unless our writing goes deeper and becomes more layered, we will be stuck with superficially slick and intellectually mediocre projects such as these.

Neglect v bucks fortnite generator : 3 Replacements You Need to Soar On

Fortnite over the Blockchain

What would a blockchain Variation of the sport appear like?

How to Get Vbucks Free Fortnite

By now All people has heard about Epic Video games’ blockbuster title Fortnite—an enormous multiplayer activity in which survival relies on stealth, quick reflexes, and many luck. As with all free of charge-to-Participate in match, the developers of http://shengrongdq.com/idrose6q00/post-whats-the-present-69690.html Fortnite experienced to pick the ideal monetization technique, and they had a great deal from which to choose a result of the recreation’s acceptance: cost-free-to-Participate in with microtransactions, pay-to-play, subscription microtransactions, and many others. They wound up utilizing more than one of those; their survival method is in spend-to-Enjoy early accessibility method, even though their battle royales method has observed the release of microtransactions in the form of Fight Passes and V-bucks.

The exciting issue about this precise Model of microtransactions is it compensates gamers who invest in fight passes for really enjoying the sport by letting them to ‘Rank Up’ their struggle pass and receive additional credits to purchase the next a single. For that reason, Fortnite’s microtransactions strategy is without doubt one of the handful of of this kind that hasn’t arrive less than hearth from players, which makes it harder to critique. That being explained, there are a number of ways that blockchain can Enhance the monetization tactic for gamers.

One of a kind Verifiable In-Match Trophies

Player things are one of the most enjoyable areas of any game. By just equipping figures with things, gamers can easily showcase in-sport achievements or prowess. The problem with in-match objects, even so, is they can frequently be manipulated by players, both via game-hacking or simply buying off of Yet another player on unsanctioned black marketplaces, putting gamers susceptible to losing their accounts.

Consider Rocket League things for instance. In Rocket League, the things are absolutely tradable, so when you have 1 it could signify certainly one of two things: either you might have expended many time participating in the sport to get paid it, or else you are merely actually prosperous. While one of blockchain’s primary benefit propositions during the gaming Area is a chance to truly own and trade your belongings, an oft forgotten price is that blockchain can validate the strategy by which a players received an product. With blockchain, a sport could include an asset that is certainly completely exclusive to an in-activity accomplishment depending on talent. This would come being an advancement to goods in Fortnite for instance match-get gliders (Paper Parasol, Snowflake, and Umbrella) and would give these items an added sense of awe and admiration when Geared up in your player. Only having this info stored inside of a universally available details supply like the blockchain allows developers to put into practice great user interfaces to brag about video game achievements.

Though the Fortnite Tracker Web site has a few of this details, a match saved over the blockchain might have all information on players by structure. It is because the blockchain is a fresh kind of data framework that may be by default obtainable to all, Whilst the databases that game titles use today are limited by layout, so all data that we can easily see on gamers nowadays have to be actively launched by the sport if gamers need to see it.

V-buck Participant Buying and selling

A simple profit to realize from incorporating blockchain into Fortnite will be a chance to trade V-Bucks with other gamers. This is certainly largely because it enables gamers to gain positive aspects outside of the game for that play-time that they may have invested. In place of investing hrs participating in a match and staying rewarded with One more interesting skin that they might have a huge selection of, gamers can exchange benefits which they gain for an exterior value, quite possibly in the shape of Ethereum.

Lots of games in the past have expressed worry about such a trading as it opens probable avenues for kid gambling, as noticed with CSGO skin lottery internet sites that raked in numerous pounds in income and gave rise into the WAX asset marketplace. That becoming said, the blockchain in idea can reduce the power of those marketplaces to function. If match developers realize ahead of time that their online games hold the incentives in place for a lot of these marketplaces, they could code their good contracts in a means that prevents illicit activity from taking place. The main reason that this can be done in blockchain online games, where by it was not for different games, is because virtually any price transfer is finished by way of code in the blockchain. So when you required to circumvent a style of asset from currently being purchased with dollars and only accept an equivalent worth of in tokens, you might set that in the sensible deal.

Trading isn’t managed game developers, which implies they have no Regulate around the validity of various payment strategies and transactions. Blockchain engineering could very easily reduce one of many primary considerations with Fortnite’s monetization tactic currently—the hard cash shop. The money store is definitely the essence of what most gamers envisage to be ‘microtransactions’; the ability to directly purchase in-video game property for revenue. Fortnite is presently selling this stuff at outrageous rates and directly profiting the proceeds. If we visualize V-bucks being a token in lieu of a direct extension of fiat currency, we could consider a planet by which item costs fluctuate with desire, and gamers can get paid this benefit by actively playing the sport in lieu of paying for it. In some unspecified time in the future, players may even be capable of launch their own skins and things that they can Individually monetize, whether or not most of that worth receives siphoned by Epic Games.

HOW TO HACK FORTNITE

There’s loads of perform to generally be completed with this type of in-match financial system, so we’re unlikely to check out Fornite (or any comparable main title) to the blockchain any time shortly. However, it’s merely a matter of your time right up until it gets executed with future titles. For now, even though the money store can be a discomfort issue for player working experience, I’m certain that it's vastly rewarding for Epic and more than likely isn’t likely anyplace at any time soon.

New Post has been published on https://travelonlinetips.com/10-of-the-best-reasons-to-go-to-honeymoon-island/

10 of the best reasons to go to Honeymoon Island

A honeymoon, generally speaking, is a sure thing. And for beach lovers, the same goes for Honeymoon Island, a small but striking strand just north of Clearwater Beach.

Its calm Gulf waters come in every shade of blue imaginable, spread out over four miles of coast so lovely it consistently ranks atop the list of Florida’s most visited state parks. You’ll fall in love with the place – and here are 10 reasons why.

Get beached

Honeymoon Island’s beaches are natural and beautiful – and relatively expansive, too. Don’t mind a hike? Head to the northernmost strand but don’t camp out near the entrance. Walk up some and you’ll likely find some space to breathe.

It can get crowded here, particularly on weekends, so come early – before traffic on the Dunedin Causeway starts to slow up.

Get hitched

Couples headed off on their own honeymoons often set the stage here – by tying the knot on the beach. Weddings are a regular thing on Honeymoon Island; you’ll often see signs guiding guests to the right ceremony or chairs being set up for the event.  You may even catch one in progress. Tres romantique!

So.much.nature.

The ecosystem here is unique, particularly if you’re visiting from another state. To learn more about Honeymoon’s native flora and fauna, visit the nature center, where exhibits showcasing shells, geology and more – and a small outdoor garden with indigenous plants and flowers – inspire visitors to explore more than just the beaches.

Eyes on the skies

Bald eagles “honeymoon” here, too – it’s a nesting ground — Photo courtesy of VISIT FLORIDA

Honeymoon Island’s three-mile Osprey Trail isn’t just a perfect place to spy these impressive fish hawks. We spied a great horned owl on a recent visit and watched, transfixed, as bald eagles soared overhead. As many as 10 nesting pairs were reported here during the 2017-18 season.

Down to earth

Birding is certainly ample on Honeymoon Island. The aforementioned get most of the glory, but plovers, ibises, sandpipers, pelicans, gulls and many, many more call this atoll home, but so, too, does ground-dwelling wildlife. Armadillos, gopher tortoises, raccoons and more live here, as well, and are oft spotted on the trails and beyond.

Bring your own

The armadillos may sometimes get close enough to touch, but that’s against the law – so if it’s four-legged company you’re craving, just bring your own. Honeymoon Island has something rare and prized among locals: a dog beach!

Pups must remain on a six-foot leash, but can happily dig, romp and swim to their heart’s content whether simply walking the beach or setting up for the day with their people. Be sure to bring water and shade (for everyone) if you’re staying awhile and keep pets safely on the beach trail while walking out – the sand spurs can be brutal.

While the park provides bag stations so owners can keep the beach and trail clean, it’s advisable to bring your own in case they’re empty. A bathing station by the parking lot allows for post-beach baths, so Rover doesn’t bring the whole beach home with you.

Island hopping

About 100 years ago, the atoll today called Honeymoon was considerably bigger, but in 1921 a massive hurricane tore the barrier island in two, thereby creating Caladesi Island. Caladesi’s blinding-white sands, warm Gulf swells and beachy hiking trails are just a 15-minute ride away.

All aboard

…on the Caladesi Island Ferry, which you can grab at Honeymoon Island. The relaxing and wonderfully scenic ride is short on time and long on rewards, which often include playful dolphins leaping in the craft’s wake. And save Thanksgiving and Christmas, it runs every day, on the half-hour or hour depending on the season.

Round-trips: $14/adults, $7 (kids 6-12), 5 and under ride free.

The only other way to get to Caladesi is to walk north from Clearwater Beach, or…

Sail Honeymoon

From Dunedin Causeway, folks truck in their own kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and small sailboats to journey across beautiful St. Joseph Sound themselves. Or you can hit up Sail Honeymoon, which rents all of the above by the hour or day.

The quick journey across is rife with opportunities to see dolphins, manatees, breaching rays and more as you navigate the crystalline waters, exploring the edges of the mangroves or pulling up on the western beach of Caladesi and either camping out awhile or exploring on foot.

The outfitter’s thatched-roof bar, the High & Dry Grill, is an ideal spot – perhaps even on the way back from Honeymoon Island, to enjoy a shave ice, snack or Sailor’s Spiced Rum Punch from a shady spot while the sun glints off the sound’s peaceful waters.

Stay late

The sunsets at Honeymoon Island are as epic as any you’ll find on Florida’s Gulf coast – pinks, purples, blues and oranges swell and fade like breathing watercolors as the blazing ball of sun descends. No filter necessary, we assure you.
