But a people unable to reform will not be able to preserve its old culture either.
pain men people
True fighters dare face the sorrows of humanity, and look unflinchingly at bloodshed. What sorrow and joy are theirs!

But anyone who thinks themselves genuinely unbiased is bound to be taken in.
book ideas tactics
All who have read a few old books have picked up the old tactics of considering every new idea a 'heresy' which must be rooted out.
song hero home
Where are now the warriors of the world of the spirit? Where are those who raise their voices for truth, who lead us to goodness, beauty, strength and health? Where are those who utter heartwarming words, who will lead us out of the wilderness? Our homes are gone and the nation is destroyed, yet we have no Jeremiah crying out his last sad song to the world and to posterity.
