Now, i confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil, having due regard for its actual existence amongst us and the difficulties of getting rid of it in any satisfactory way, and to all the constitutional obligations which have been thrown about it; but, nevertheless, desire a policy that looks to the prevention of it as a wrong, and looks hopefully to the time when as a wrong it may come to an end.

As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. you will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. you will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. you will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.

There should be a class on drugs. there should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and 'un-logical' terms and things like that.....there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in america, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let's learn volleyball.

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

We had got as far as this, when who should walk in but the gentleman himself, who had been drinking his beer in the taproom and had heard the whole conversation. who was i? what did i want? what did i mean by asking questions? he had a fine flow of language, and his adjectives were very vigorous.

What starting your company means: you will lose your stable income, your right to apply for a leave of absence, and your right to get a bonus. however, it also means your income will no longer be limited, you will use your time more effectively, and you will no longer need to beg for favours from people anymore.
