We cannot have another experience like we've had in my freshman class, of people saying one thing and doing another.
Saying is one thing and doing is another
All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.
Establishment, career politicians are about saying one thing and doing another.
Saying is one thing and doing is another; we are to consider the sermon and the preacher distinctly and apart.
Politicians saying one thing and doing another, celebrities though are some of the worst offenders.
I'm not saying you did the wrong thing. I'm not even saying it wasn't something I'd thought of doing, myself. But even if it was the just thing to do, or the fitting thing, it still wasn't the right thing.
Giving advice is many times only the privilege of saying a foolish thing one's self, under the pretense of hindering another from doing one.
As I've said many times, it's one thing to dream about something; it's another thing to experience it. It's one thing to think you're good enough; it's another thing to know you're good enough.
In real life, people are constantly saying one thing and doing another, but if you write your characters that way, the story becomes too hard to follow.
It isn't hard to be an artist and do your money thing. It's much harder to wake up in the middle of the night knowing that you're being ripped off and starting to get this feeling in your stomach almost bordering on bitterness toward people who are saying one thing and doing another.
Saying 'yes' to one thing means saying 'no' to another. That's why decisions can be hard sometimes.
That's your doing. Now in order to affect that doing I am going to recommend that you learn another doing... It may hook you to another doing and then you may realize that both doings are lies, unreal, and that to hinge yourself to either one is a waste of time, because the only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die. To arrive at that being is the note-doing of the self
So the better thing to do is to be right and be doing the right things for the right reasons rather than trying to be cool and popular and saying whatever thing is going to get good headlines or a big cheer at Glastonbury.
If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good.
When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you're doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she's doing.
