“So, in our wisdom and fair justice we go on - "Giving to dust that is a little gilt, More laud than gold e'er dusted;" proclaiming the merits of the bad wine, and making it, by every token, as enticing as we can; and blessing our stars that the good will be found out by its flavor "without our stir." As it is inestimable, we seek not to win esteem for it; as it is beyond all praise, we bestow no praises upon it.” GivingLittlesFoundWinningStarsJusticeGoes OnBlessingFairsGoldPraiseWineEsteemDustMeritFlavorGood WillTokensProclaimingEnticing Author:Samuel Laman Blanchard

“I think that's deeply rooted in Muslim consciousness, the idea of not submitting to anything other than God. "You can abuse me, but you're not going to win me over.

“You start to worry about what happens if you don't win. You start to fear man because you want praise from man. You start thinking about how winning will lead to more money.
