I wish people could acheive what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that thats not really what happiness is.
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance order rhythm and harmony.

To declare that in the administration of criminal law the end justifies the means to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure conviction of a private criminal would bring terrible retribution.
Remember that government doesn't earn one single dollar it spends. In order for you to get money from the government that money must first be taken from somebody else.
The world runs on individuals pursuing their self interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way.
One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it.
In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society it is a good thing if you possess great talent to give early in your youth a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that be a snob.
