Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

~Philippians 2:3-4~

Give a man a fish and he is full for the day.

Teach the same man fishing and he complains about having better things to do than holding a string into the water all day...

Belief gets in the way of learning

excerpt q/ (the Declaration of Independence) . . .

"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another
and to assume, among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opionions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

people demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use - soren kierkegaard

'When young men seek to be like you, when lazy men resent you, when powerful men look over their shoulder at you, when cowardly men plot behind your back, when corrupt men wish you were gone, and when evil men want you dead. . . Only then will you have done your share. . . ' ;)

two quotes this morning - both along similar lines - the first taken from 'in search of history' by teddy white.

" what if you lose what you began to defend by the manner of winning?"

the second is by martha geller, a war correspondent beginning in the spanish civil war right through the viet nam war.

"the ends never justify the means .... because there is no end."
