More From William Shakespeare

To love you as i should, i must worship god as creator. when i have learnt to love god better than my earthly dearest, i shall love my earthly dearest better than i do now. in so far as i learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of god and instead of god, i shall be moving towards the state in which i shall not love my earthly dearest t all. when first things are put first, second things are not suppressed bu increased.

Capital does not 'beget profit' as marx thought. the capital goods as such are dead things that in themselves do not accomplish anything. if they are utilized according to a good idea, profit results. if they are utilized according to a mistaken idea, no profit or losses result. it is the entrepreneurial decision that creates either profit or loss.
Loss Ideas Decision
We humans have had from time unknown the compulsion to name things and thus to be able to deal with them. the name we give to something shapes our attitude toward it. and in ancient thought the name itself has power, so that to know someone's name is to have a certain power over him. and in some societies, as you know, there was a public name and a real or secret name, which would not be revealed to others.

It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. the fixed is a mason jar,and we can't beat it open. ...the fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. it is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and i hate it because at any moment i myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.
Hate Fire Vases
Most humans, in varying degrees, are already dead. in one way or another they have lost their dreams, their ambitions, their desire for a better life. they have surrendered their fight for self-esteem and they have compromised their great potential. they have settled for a life of mediocrity, days of despair and nights of tears. they are no more than living deaths confined to cemeteries of their choice. yet they need not remain in that state. they can be resurrected from their sorry condition. they can each perform the greatest miracle in the world. they can each come back from the dead.
