“If we live one way we get one result — if we live another way we get another result. We ought to be smart enough, realistic enough, observant and alert enough to know this, forward as well as backwards.” ~Richard L. Evans
“The world looks like… a mathematical equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself . . . . You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong. . . . A man cannot speak but he judges himself. . . . Every secret is told, every wrong redressed, in silence and certainty. . . . The thief steals from himself, The swindler, swindles himself. . . . Men suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for man to be cheated by anyone but himself. . . . What will you have? quoth God; pay for it and take it. . . . Thou shalt be paid exactly for what thou hast done, no more, no less. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
