Bush v. Supreme Court


Will Roper: So now you'd give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast and if you cut them down do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil the benefit of the law, for my own safety's sake.
-from A Man For All Seasons by Robert Bolt

Charity. Water.

The One You Feed


"A fight is going on inside me," the man said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil -he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. The other is good -he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too."

The boy thought for a minute and asked the man, "Which wolf will win?"

The man replied simply, "The one you feed."

The Source


The person who strays away from the source is unrooted and is like dust blown about by the wind.
