Quote Left In an existence rife with disappointment, happiness must seem a fabled luxury, relegated to a distant past in the envelope of youth where obligation is an undiscovered theme and need exists in its pristine state, devoid of any attachment. If distance lends perspective, happiness will forever remain a legacy whose true value may only be appreciated in contrast to our misery. Quote Right

Quote Left Whether it is 1725 or 2025 there are two distinct classes of business interest. Those that provide services for profit and those that plunder for profit. One sees a customer, the other a mark. One is sustainable, the other ends at the end of a rope. Quote Right

Quote Left A hallmark of any organization whether it be family, a corporation or even a nation is that a preponderance of rules in general denotes a lack of principle in particular. Conversely and unfortunately those lacking in principle have little use for rules. Quote Right

Quote Left In the absence of proactive measures to abjure the foreseen, to mitigate any risk thereof, actions become reactionary at best, and matters that should lie within the realm of great certainty instead assume the guise of crisis. Quote Right

Quote Left We all possess an inherent amount of faith, we trust we are who we say we are and that things are, after a fashion, the way we expect them to be. An expectation that forms the baseline which allows us to interface and function within the bounds of what we, as individuals, consider the norms of rational existence. That is until circumstance erodes the illusion which forms the bulwark between what is rational and irrational. Chaos then needs little justification or provocation. Quote Right

Quote Left No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation. Prudence dictates corruption abrogates the ability for self correction and so remedy must be accomplished through external means. Quote Right

Quote Left Hope is a vain indulgence, it clouds judgement and champions inaction. Belief wedded to action needs only resolve and commitment. Quote Right

Quote Left Some seek to control others, some seek to control themselves whilst others seek to control their environment. A fool engages in one, a wise man two but a truly enlightened man masters all three. Quote Right
