He wondered aloud whether he should drop Philosophy.  There is no other class worth the taking I said, except Ancient History and the Humanities.  And possibly The Religions of Man and maybe The Root of Languages. . . where my love has it gotten us?

One thing I have learned that if it is not done here where we are, it is not done elsewhere.  Do now what you see to be done for there will not be this particular chance nor these favorable circumstances again.

Within the each is the knowledge that their God will rescue them.  Is it knowledge or is it faith?  Is this why people don’t try harder?  You see, try they do.  Doing is what they don’t.
