| Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men and women. The ultimate victory, the ultimate victory of tomorrow is with democracy; and true democracy with education, for no people in all the world can be kept eternally ignorant or eternally enslaved. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 5, National Education Association (June 30, 1938), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). ~ |

| ...it has been a joy to live, at last, under an Administration which—stumbling forward and backward, colliding with all the habits of government, all the habits of business—has still endeavored to make the happiness of man, woman and child its chief consideration. |
| ~ Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959), U.S. author and social reformer. Threescore, Epilogue (1936). Referring to the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which had begun in 1933 and would continue until his death in 1945. ~ |

| Chapter 10 : say what You think without injuring 01 Do not force yourself to salute the heated man, 02 for then You injure your own heart. 03 Do not say 'Greetings!' to him falsely, 04 while there is terror in your belly. 05 Do not speak falsely to a man, 06 the god abhors it! 07 Do not sever your heart from your tongue, (so) 08 that all your strivings may succeed. 09 You will be weighty before the others, 10 and secure in the hand of the god. 11 God hates the falsifier of words. 12 He greatly abhors he who quarrels in the belly. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching towards the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative, they wander ever further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind. This we can all bear witness to, living as we do plagued by unremitting anxiety in this dreadful epoch of mammoth weapons. It becomes more and more imperative that the life of the spirit be avowed as the only firm basis upon which to establish happiness and peace. |

| 2nd Amendment: [T]he advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. |

| Seeing the meaningful as meaningless, and the meaningless as meaningful, one is capable only of falsehood and fiction, and will never arrive at true meaning. |
