An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
The end is inherent in the means.
Coercion cannot but result in chaos in the end.
Means are ends in the making
Literacy is not the end of education nor even the beginning.

As the means, so the end.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
