More From Theodore Roosevelt

Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. i propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.

A good catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. but what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? prayer!

All the same, the fundamental truths which govern that art are still unchangeable; just as the principles of mechanics must always govern architecture, whether the building be made of wood, stone, iron or concrete; just as the principles of harmony govern music of whatever kind. it is still necessary, then, to establish the principles of war.

I do not wonder that, where the monastick life is permitted, every order finds votaries, and every monastery inhabitants. men will submit to any rule, by which they may be exempted from the tyranny of caprice and of chance. they are glad to supply by external authority their own want of constancy and resolution, and court the government of others, when long experience has convinced them of their own inability to govern themselves.
Men Order Discipline
There are some who lack confidence in the integrity and capacity of the people to govern themselves. to all who entertain such fears i will most respectfully say that i entertain none. if man is not capable, and is not to be trusted with the government of himself, is he to be trusted with the government of others? who, then, will govern? the answer must be, man - for we have no angels in the shape of men, as yet, who are willing to take charge of our political affairs.

Patriarchy is not men. patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. it privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. it is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it.

Our names are labels, plainly printed on the bottled essence of our past behavior.

When you go out to make something, you want it to be great. you need to put a bubble around that, so no one can get into the force field and change what you're setting out to make. that's all us being producers is doing, is allowing our power to protect the integrity of what you're doing.
Integrity Force Fields Needs
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
