"The person who knows 'how' will always have a job. The person who knows 'why' will always be his boss." Diane Ravitch.

If knowledge is power, then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.

Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautifull: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religeous; they are only pew-renters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly... They are not prosperous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only servile. Not dutifull, only sheepish; not obstinate, not masterfull; only domineering: not self controlled; only obtuse: not self-considerate; only polite: not intelligent; only opiniated... Not just, only vindicitive; not diciplined, only cowed: and not truthfull at all; Liars every one of them, to the very backbones of their souls.
