Poetic ponderings.


I.

The voice of certainty is the cry of the dead.

II.

I am not alarmed that people are now talking about the fall of America; what frightens me is the fact that Americans, especially young Americans, speak of this great tragedy with ease and certainty.

III.

If a soldier is allowed to question his/her superiors during peacetime, the soldier is most likely to defy the orders of a superior on the battlefield.

IV.

One's freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility to think before one speaks.

V.

Knowledge combined with positive action equals success.

VI.

The more you put into a fire, the greater it becomes.

VII.

Great fires are started by insignificant sparks.

VIII.

If there were gold at the end of a rainbow, weathermen would never predict rain.

IX.

Trouble is like taxes -- the more you make, the more you will have to pay.

X.

Anything perceived by the mind can be projected into reality.

XI.

Reality is nothing more than what you and I agree exists.

XII.

What is traditional is not always what is right.

XIII.

The struggle to maintain is just as demanding as the struggle to attain.

XIV.

Freedom is the right to choose.

XV,

No person can see God who has not first seen self and neighbor.

XVI.

Shortcuts often lead to longsuffering.

XVII.

Humanity is in a constant state of becoming.

XVIII.

Pity has never cured a patient.

XIX.

When we hate ourselves, it is quite easy to hate others.

XX.

Making a sickness legal is not tantamount to effecting a cure.

XXI.

Because an idea is popular does not mean it is practical or right.

XXII.

A person cannot be a victim of society without first being a victim of self.

XXIII.

Striking a child in anger is a confession of weakness.

XXIV.

Government governs best when it governs less.
