Theme

Read It, Write It, Tell It (^) 78 Themes, Patterns & Symbols – N. Armstrong

Love (continued)

Friends are a person’s most valuable possession.
Blood is thicker than water.
When in love, one must suffer.
Love is a force for happiness and fulfillment.
One should be willing to sacrifice for the person one loves. Politics
Follow the rules.
Our system of government is better than other systems.
Our system of government would be better if we would change.
Rules are there to protect and help us.
Personal freedoms, like those listed in the United States Bill of Rights, are good and necessary.
Personal freedoms have gone too far and must be curtailed.
Freedom cannot exist without personal responsibility.
Freedom is worth fighting (or dying) for.
Peace is worth fighting (or dying) for.
Our system of government is worth fighting (or dying) for. Growing up
Growing up is a great time of life.
Growing up is a challenge for everyone.
It takes a village to raise a child.
It takes a family to raise a child.
Good communication between generations leads to: satisfaction, understanding, better relationships, cooperation. Ambition
Too much ambition leads negative results: self-destruction, envy, greed, neurosis, downfall.
One needs ambition in order to succeed.
Hard work can bring a great reward.
We grow small trying to be great.
Goals are dreams we convert to plans and take action to fulfill. Courage and Fear
Understanding feelings of cowardice.
Accepting a challenge leads to positive results.
One can be courageous and cowardly at the same time.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Face your fears.
Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be.
I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. Intentions
Actions speak louder than words.
It’s not the gift that counts.
Don’t cry over spilled milk.
It is difficult to say who does you the most harm: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best.
