excercise QUOTES

1 " People liked religion but they didn't want to have to excercise any faith. Religion was comforting with all its structure and its rules. It made people feel safe. But faith wasn't safe. Faith was hard and uncomfortable and forced people to step out on a limb. "

― Amy Harmon , Making Faces

2 " Only in christanity that people that fall remain on the ground. When boxers are knocked down they refuse to remain on the ground or to accept a knock out. Even when they are bleeding with swollen faces, they still get up to fight but in Christianity even a push, not even a blow, Boxers gets up, wrestlers jumps up, Christians lie down.
Do you know why? They do not fight a good fight, they expect to lose before they enter the ring. Every good fighter is an enduring person, they do excercise and training, they learn the act of endurance. You can't be a good Christian without an amour which is the word of God. "

― Patience Johnson, , Why Does an Orderly God Allow Disorder

3 " When you beat up someone physically, you get excercise and stress relief; when you assault him verbally on the Internet, you just harm yourself. "

― Nassim Nicholas Taleb , The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

4 " There can be no justice so long as law is absolute. Even life itself is an excercise in exceptions.”
“When has justice ever been as simple as a rule-book?” - Riker "
