| Our laws make law impossible; our liberties destroy all freedom; our property is organized robbery; our morality an impudent hypocrisy; our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes; our power wielded by cowards and weaklings; and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons. -- George Bernard Shaw |

In handling affairs, he loves competence. In his activities, he loves timeliness. It is because he does not compete that he is without reproach. -- Lao-Tzu |
