All That Ever Matters

1. It isn’t the pen, but the writer Not the tracks, but the runner It isn’t the tool, but the workman 2. It isn’t the action, but the attitude Not the speech, but the thoughts It isn’t money, but its uses 3. It isn’t the end, but the means Not the conquests of yesterdays but the today’s challenges It isn’t the sex, but the child 4. It isn’t the status, but the person Not the messenger, but the message It isn’t the law, but the user 5. It isn’t the song, but its rhythms Not the policies, but the people It isn’t time length, but its quality 6. It is not the smoke, but the cause Not the person, but its principles Not the looks, but values 7. Not the party, but the ideologies It isn’t the theories, but the practices Not the place, but the people
