Death and its associates, after the initial shock, produce callousness.
R.K. Narayan
Associates
O you who complain
O you who complain to people about your misfortunes, what good will it do you to complain to creatures? They can bring you neither benefit nor harm. If you rely on them and associate partners with the Lord of the Truth, they will make you distant from Him, cause you to fall into His displeasure.
Abdul-Qadir Gilani
O my people, I
O my people, I disavow all that you associate [with God]. I orient my face with an exclusive orientation towards Him, who created the heavens and the earth and I am not one of the associators.
Abdelkader El Djezairi
I think people associate
I think people associate genre and music style with creativity, but it’s all creativity regardless of what pipeline it comes down.
Aaron Gillespie
Out of many millions
Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bonafide spiritual master by the grace of Krishna. By the mercy of both Krishna and the spiritual masters, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Without precise meanings behind
Without precise meanings behind words, politicians and elites can obscure reality and condition people to reflexively associate certain words with positive or negative perceptions. In other words, unpleasant facts can be hidden behind purposely meaningless language.
Ron Paul
Although I held public
Although I held public office for a total of sixteen years, I also thought of myself as a citizen-politician, not a career one. Every now and then when I was in government, I would remind my associates that When we start thinking of government as ‘us’ instead of ‘them,’ we’ve been here too long. By that I mean that elected officeholders need to retain a certain skepticism about the perfectibility of government.
Ronald Reagan
