“...Jabotinsky insisted that all energies be expended to force the Congress to join the boycott movement. Nothing less than a 'merciless fight' would be acceptable, cried Jabotinsky.

“Demons frighten us because we set ourselves up to be frightened. We are overly attached to our reputations and possessions. When we love and desire what we should be rejecting, we are in conflict with our true selves. That's when the negative energies catch us and use our weapons against us. Instead of taking up what we have to defend ourselves, we put our swords in the hands of our enemies and make them attack us.” ShouldSelfUseHandsDesireEnergyEnemyConflictWeaponsNegativePossessionReputationDemonAttachmentFrightenedTrue SelfRejectingNegative Energy Author:Teresa Giudice
“Our courage is greater to dare a visible than an imagined danger. A visible danger rouses our energies to meet or avert it; a fancied peril appalls from its presenting nothing to be resisted. Thus, a panic is, usually, a sudden going over to the enemy of our imagination. All is then lost, for we have not only to fight against that enemy, but our imagination as well.” WellsFightingEnergyLostImaginationEnemyGreaterDangerDareVisiblePanicPerilPresentingAvert Author:Christian Nestell Bovee
“I've been thinking of a story from the Old Testament: Moses stood all day and all night with outstretched arms, praying to God for victory.

“Enthusiasm is a virtue rarely to be met with in seasons of calm and unruffled prosperity. Enthusiasm flourishes in adversity, kindles in the hour of danger, and awakens to deeds of renown. The terrors of persecution only serve to quicken the energy of its purposes. It swells in proud integrity, and, great in the purity of its cause, it can scatter defiance amidst hosts of enemies.” PurposeEnergyCausesHoursEnemyVirtueDangerProudIntegrityMetsSeasonsAdversityCalmTerrorProsperityDeedsEnthusiasmPurityHostPersecutionDefianceKindlesRenown Author:Thomas Chalmers

“The first and most important rule to observe...is to use our entire forces with the utmost energy. The second rule is to concentrate our power as much as possible against that section where the chief blows are to be delivered and to incur disadvantages elsewhere, so that our chances of success may increase at the decisive point. The third rule is never to waste time. Finally, the fourth rule is to follow up our successes with the utmost energy.
