It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical.

There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.[Winston Churchill] Quote:A finer body of men has never been gathered by any nation than the men who have done the work of building the Panama Canal; the conditions under which they have lived and have done their work have been better than in any similar work ever undertaken in the tropics; they have all felt an eager pride in their work; and they have made not only America but the whole world their debtors by what they have accomplished.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.

[Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. [Carl Jung] Quote:Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.

Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.
