Be a Philosopher

A man can compromise to gain a point. It has become apparent that a man can, without limits, follow his inclinations within the aims of his religious beliefs if he soes so discretly

Remember, even a rebel grows old, and sometimes wiser. He finds the things be rebelled against are now the things he must defend against newer rebels. Aging bones creak in the cold. Seek warmth, be descreet, but follow your own mind. When you have obtained position you will have influence. Otherwise you will tear at the bars until your strength is gone, and you will have accomplished nothing but to rant and rave.

Compromise is and evil word, but just think, we compromise and without it there would be no progress, nor could men live together. You may think a man a fool, but if he is an agreeable fool you say nothing. Isn't that compromise?

Victory is not won in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later win a little more.

A man should not compromise his principles, but he need not flaunt them, as a banner. There is a time to talk and  a time to be still. If a wrong is being done, then is the time to speak out.

Study, gain prestige, and people will ask you solemnly for advice about things of which you know nothing.

There are many ways of fighting. Many a man or woman has waged a good war for truth, honor and freedom, who did not shed blood in the process. Beware of those who would use violence, too often it is the violence they   want and neither truth or freedom.

The important thing is to know where you stand and what you believe, Then be true to yourself in all things. Moreover, ikt is foolish to waste time in arguing questions with those who have no power to change.
