Reuven listen to me. the talmud says that a person should do two things for himself. one is to acquire a teacher. do you remember the other." "choose a friend," i said.

We risk great peril if we kill off this spirit of adventure, for we cannot predict how and in what seemingly unrelated fields it will manifest itself. a nation that loses its forward thrust is in danger, and one of the most effective ways to retain that thrust is to keep exploring possibilities. the sense of exploration is intimately bound up with human resolve, and for a nation to believe that it is still committed to a forward motion is to ensure its continuance.

A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us god's forgiveness. a friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. a friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. with a friend we don't have to say or do something special. with a friend we can be still and know that god is there with both of us.

It's important, therefore, to know who the real enemy is, and to know the function, the very serious function of racism, which is distraction. it keeps you from doing your work. it keeps you explaining over and over again, your reason for being. somebody says you have no language and so you spend 20 years proving that you do. somebody says your head isn't shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. someone says you have no art so you dredge that up. somebody says you have no kingdoms and so you dredge that up. none of that is necessary. there will always be one more thing.

I can prove at any time that my education tried to make another person out of me than the one i became. it is for the harm, therefore, that my educators could have done me in accordance with their intentions that i reproach them; i demand from their hands the person i now am, and since they cannot give him to me, i make of my reproach and laughter a drumbeat sounding in the world beyond.
Education Time Laughter
When i was quite young i fondly imagined that all foreign languages were codes for english. i thought that "hat," say, was the real and actual name of the thing, but that people in other countries, who obstinately persisted in speaking the code of their forefathers, might use the word "ibu," say, to designate not merely the concept hat, but the english word "hat." i knew only one foreign word, "oui," and since it had three letters as did the word for which it was a code, it seemed, touchingly enough, to confirm my theory.

Not to learn irish is to miss the opportunity of understanding what life in this country has meant and could mean in a better future. it is to cut oneself off from ways of being at home. if we regard self-understanding, mutual understanding, imaginative enhancement, cultural diversity and a tolerant political atmosphereas a desirable attainments, we should remember that a knowledge of the irish language is an essential element in their realisation.

The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. this system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.
