More From Alexander Herzen

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

The most effective way to close down the human mind and to manipulate its sense of self is to program into it some form of dogma. a dogma will always vehemently defend itself from other information and repel any alternative opinion which contradicts its narrow, solidified view. dogmas become a person's sense of security and means of retaining power, and humanity tends to cling to both until its knuckles turn white. dogmas take endless forms, and when you can persuade different people to hold opposing dogmas, the manipulation of conflict and control through "divide and rule" becomes easy.
Mean White Self
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.
Children Simple Law
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon law and upon courts. these are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. while it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no courts to save it.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

There are, in truth, no specialties in medicine, since to know fully many of the most important diseases a man must be familiar with their manifestations in many organs.
Men Medicine Important
The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasums, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

The important thing is not to know more than all men, but to know more at each moment than any particular man.
