More From Felix Frankfurter

To be secure everywhere is the mark of sophistication, to be unshakable is the mark of courage, to be permanently in love with every person is the mark of masculinity or femininity, to forgive is the mark of strength, to govern our senses and passions is the mark of freedom.
Passion Forgiving Unshakable
Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. self-confidence is only one part of confidence. people also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.
People Support Leader
A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.
Strength Wise Hope
I am worried about this word, this notion - security. i see this word, hear this word, feel this word everywhere. security check. security watch. security clearance. why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure? ... why are we suddenly a nation and a people who strive for security above all else?
Insecure People Focus
It seems to me impossible for a civilized man to love or worship, or respect the god of the old testament. a really civilized man, a really civilized woman, must hold such a god in abhorrence and contempt... in the new testament, death is not the end, but the beginning of punishment that has no end. in the new testament the malice of god is infinite and the hunger of his revenge eternal... this frightful dogma, this infinite lie, made me the implacable enemy of christianity. the truth is that this belief in eternal pain has been the real persecutor.
