Broke is a Hollywood term!
I usually think in terms of music.
A philosophical thought is not supposed to be impervious to all criticism; this is the error Whitehead describes of turning philosophy into geometry, and it is useful primarily as a way of gaining short-term triumphs in personal arguments that no one...
Even when months and days are long, life is short.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.

We're planning on being married for a long, long time.
If you put these five things together - you can't use money to attract talent, you can't advertise, you can't take risks, you can't invest in long-term results, and you don't have a stock market - then we have just put the humanitarian sector at the ...
