“...when we are going through the aftereffects of a bad jolt in loss of money or pride--and both are closely connected--we should get off to ourselves, make an honest appraisal of our shortcomings, and try to find our weak spots and bolster them up before starting in again. First on the program we should figure out a plan to eat. The money we have lost is a small matter; if we can keep our pride and strong faith in ourselves the battle ahead is half won before we start.” IfsShouldTryingFirstsMatterLostStrongLossHalfPlansHonestFiguresFailurePrideBattleProgramWeakPerseveranceStartingConnectedSpotsShortcomingsAppraisalStrong FaithWeak Spots Author:Sue Sanders
“For the first time in history, the rational and the good are fully armed in the battle against evil. Here we finally find the answer to our paradox; now we can understand the nature of the social power held by evil. Ultimately, the evil, the irrational, truly has no power. The evil men’s control of morality is transient; it lives on borrowed time made possible only by the errors of the good. In time, as more honest men grasp the truth, evil’s stranglehold will be easily broken.” MenFirstsMadeEvilSocialAnswersHonestBrokenMoralityBattleFirst TimeErrorsRationalParadoxIrrationalBorrowedHonest ManTransientEvil ManSocial PowerBorrowed Time Author:Andrew Bernstein

“And let's just be honest, there is no such place called 'justice,' if by that we envision a finish line, or a point at which the battle is won and the need to continue the struggle over with. After all, even when you succeed in obtaining a measure of justice, you're always forced to mobilize to defend that which you've won. There is no looming vacation.
