More From Pope Francis

If you cannot always elicit a straight answer from the unconscious brain, how can you access its knowledge? sometimes the trick is merely to probe what your gut is telling you. so the next time a friend laments that she cannot decide between two options, tell her the easiest way to solve her problem: flip a coin. she should specify which option belongs to heads and which to tails, and then let the coin fly. the important part is to assess her gut feeling after the coin lands. if she feels a subtle sense of relief at being "told" what to do by the coin, that's the right choice for her.
Land Two Choices
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
The available supply of gold and silver being wholly inadequate to permit the issuance of coins of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin in the volume required to serve the needs of the people, some other basis for the issue of currency must be developed, and some means other than that of convertibility into coin must be developed to prevent undue fluctuation in the value of paper currency or any other substitute for money intrinsic value that may come into use.

Men Envy Guilt
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. every time a new targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.

As a madman is apt to think himself grown suddenly great, so he that grows suddenly great is apt to borrow a little from the madman.
