If a thing is old, it is a sign that it was fit to live. old families, old customs, old styles survive because they are fit to survive. the guarantee of continuity is quality. submerge the good in a flood of the new, and good will come back to join the good which the new brings with it. old-fashioned hospitality, old-fashioned politeness, old-fashioned honor in business had qualities of survival. these will come back.

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. join not having excuses. join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. join the unwillingness to give up. join doing things your way. join not joining. join that purpose is stronger than outcome. join your gut. join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. join play. join the hunger to find what makes you happy. join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. join your philosophy. join something bigger than you. join what you believe.
Karma Giving Up Fun
Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

When you go to a church and you see the pastor of that church with a philosophy and a program that's designed to bring black people together and elevate black people, join that church. join that church. if you see where the naacp is preaching and practicing that which is designed to make black nationalism materialize, join the naacp. join any kind of organization, civic, religious, fraternal, political, or otherwise that's based on lifting the black man up and making him master of his own community.

That is the kind of america in which i believe. and it represents the kind of presidency in which i believe - a great office that must neither be humbled by making it the instrument of any one religious group nor tarnished by arbitrarily withholding its occupancy from the members of any one religious group. i believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
