Weak Defense

It is often our weakness that makes us fear the future. For when we are strong, we fear no fate.

But when we are weak, and we cannot rely on our courage in the face of adversity, we can then only hope that things will turn out all right.

Such a hope is a pitiable defense against "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

A Question of Morals

Moral degeneration is a downhill slide. Moral regeneration is an uphill battle.

  • Jolted Awake
    Enlightenment is the shocking realization that you exist.
  • Growing Pains
    Suffering deepens the roots of our compassion and is as necessary for our growth as is the rain to the mighty trees of the forest.
  • A Tempting Offer
    The desire to teach other men how to live would be laughable if it were not so pitiable.
