Mastery Is Not Something That Strikes In

We Pay A Heavy Price For Our Fear Of Failure. It Is A Powerful Obstacle To Growth. It Assures The Progressive Narrowing Of The Personality And Prevents Exploration And Experimentation. There Is No Learning Without Some Difficulty And Fumbling. If You Want To Keep On Learning, You Must Keep On Risking Failure-all Your Life.

One Exemplary Act May Affect One Life, Or Even Millions Of Lives. All Those Who Set Standards For Themselves, Who Strengthen The Bonds Of Community, Who Do Their Work Creditably And Accept Individual Responsibility, Are Building The Common Future.

Tax Reduction Has An Almost Irresistible Appeal To The Politician, And It Is No Doubt Also Gratifying To The Citizen. It Means More Dollars In His Pocket, Dollars That He Can Spend If Inflation Doesn't Consume Them First. But Dollars In His Pocket Won't Buy Him Clean Streets Or An Adequate Police Force Or Good Schools Or Clean Air And Water. Handing Money Back To The Private Sector In Tax Cuts And Starving The Public Sector Is A Formula For Producing Richer And Richer Consumers In Filthier And Filthier Communities. If We Stick To That Formula We Shall End Up In Affluent Misery.
