More From Jean Rostand

Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment nature injects in us all. the infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as i think i have said, nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.

Let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.

And could i look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?
Compassion Punishment Vanity
If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. but i mean by vanity only that they appreciate their own worth. without this kind of vanity they would not be great. and with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.

Why do you people want to continue to import people that are going to end up placing a burden on our population? why? if we're going to have an immigration policy, why don't we seek the best? why do you people purposely want to go out and bring people in who are gonna end up being a burden? now, you can define that as not learning english, not being able to have a job, being on the social safety welfare net, however you want to define it. but that's what donald trump means, because that's precisely what the democrats want to do.
