Those who say they know what is wrong with man have more wrong with them than everybody else put together. (Perhaps a mite overstated, but rooted firmly in reality, nonetheless. All’s well that’s in a well.)
A man whose ideas can frighten him is far too easily frightened. A man who cannot arm himself, becomes a dodo amongst unicorns. One’s only directions should be self-directions! No matter from where they come.
Asking an awakened man a personal question is an insult – to him and to the questioner.
If you like to reminisce, lay on down and die…and spare those around you the grief.
Father’s advice to son: “Do what you can and reap the consequences – even if you have to invent them. Also note: It’s one thing to make up proverbs-to-live-by, but quite another to actually live by them.”
“Just enough” and, “Just right” is as good as it gets…leastwise for those who know.
