Honorable retreats are no ways inferior to brave charges, as having less fortune, more of discipline, and as much valor. – Major General Sir William Napier, Peninsular War [1810]Rate it:
However May is a good month to visit, with the island's major annual jazz festival. So is November with the Tri St Lucia Triathlon event and Swim Fit retreats (where Olympic athletes coach). – Paul JosephRate it:
I really think it's a body blow for the United Nations, the Secretary-General said it's The Secretary-General lowest moment on the job. They hold all these' preventative diplomacy' sessions and retreats and consultations... and then Russian tanks run right over the precious United Nations charter. – Richard RothRate it:
I think people feel isolated after brain injury because they don’t feel able, and when you don’t feel able, you generally retreat back inside, at these retreats, people are given the space to lean into those deep challenges and express them and talk about them. – Adam PearceRate it:
It retreats by many meters per day, it's tens of meters per day. You can probably set your iPhone on timelapse and actually see it go by. – Josh WillisRate it:
Man is about to be an automaton; he is identifiable only in the computer. As a person of worth and creativity, as a being with an infinite potential, he retreats and battles the forces that make him inhuman. The dissent we witness is a reaffirmation of faith in man; it is protest against living under rules and prejudices and attitudes that produce the extremes of wealth and poverty and that make us dedicated to the destruction of people through arms, bombs, and gases, and that prepare us to think alike and be submissive objects for the regime of the computer. – William O. DouglasRate it:
Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the moutains. . .But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree. . .when thou canst at a moment's notice retire into thyself. – Marcus Aelius AureliusRate it:
The indictment dramatically alters the case, although not in a way that will surprise National Review readers. There continues to be no connection to the Trump campaign( which Manafort briefly chaired and Gates also served), much less any suggestion of collusion between the campaign and Russia. The new indictment, however, retreats from the original allegations of money laundering, failure to register as foreign agents, and the so-called conspiracy against the United States. We observed back in November that all of these charges seemed problematic … We also noted at the time that the oddest thing about the original indictment was the absence of tax-evasion and bank-fraud charges. Mueller had seemed to lay the groundwork for these allegations but to have refrained from charging them.Voila ! The case is now exclusively a tax and bank-fraud case. – Donald TrumpRate it:
The surface of the Antarctic ice sheet is very bright, and it reflects some 50-80 % of the sunlight that hits it. Where the ice sheet retreats and exposes the darker land surface underneath, this ground is much less reflective and so absorbs more sunlight, which warms it up. – Catherine BradshawRate it:
War could start at any moment, but we are ready to do everything possible to dispel any room for doubts or retreats. – Petro PoroshenkoRate it:
What did we learn from all of this? We learned that when America retreats, chaos often follows. When we neglect our friends, resentment builds. And when we partner with our enemies, they advance. – Mike PompeoRate it:
