"Reading Franklin's argument against paying politicians gave me deja vu." — Oct 15, 2024 12:07PM
I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad.
“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

“These woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
― Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

“That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.”

And with strange aeons even death may die.”
