Bon Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 If knowledge is power, then to be unknown is to be unconquerable. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
Bon Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautifull: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religeous; they are only pew-renters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly... They are not prosperous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only servile. Not dutifull, only sheepish; not obstinate, not masterfull; only domineering: not self controlled; only obtuse: not self-considerate; only polite: not intelligent; only opiniated... Not just, only vindicitive; not diciplined, only cowed: and not truthfull at all; Liars every one of them, to the very backbones of their souls. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Hence University education." -- George Bernard Shaw "Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint." -- Mark Twain (1835-1910) "Don't talk unless you can improve the silence." -- Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), Argentinean writer "I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers." -- Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931), Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth==
