    It is by the goodness of God that we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

    It was pouring out and I was partially blocking the onramp to a parking facility in a car that had suddenly died. Could there BE anything more annoying to other drivers? Dozens had already passed me, shaking their fists.

    One shouted: “For God’s sake! Open your hood so people will know!”

    I quickly jumped out in the rain and opened it. Another few dozen cars passed, also glowering, before somebody yelled, “Close your hood, idiot! Rain hurts the engine!”

    I climbed out again and closed it.

    Then a kind-faced employee of the parking facility approached. Though we had no common language, he right away saw my plight and clucked sympathetically. He left for five minutes, and then returned through the downpour with an armful of traffic cones, which he set around my car like a collection of party hats.

    Finally, some 40 minutes after I had placed the call to AAA, the man in the tow truck arrived. But the car wouldn’t start even for him.

    “Fuel pump,” he mumbled, and began latching it to his rig, into whose mile-high cab I then hoisted myself as bidden, settling into the passenger seat.

    As we followed the gentle dips and hills that would bring us to my service station, we lapsed into conversational mode.

    I asked him what people were like when he came to save them. Were they grateful? Resigned? Grouchy as all get-out?

    “Most people are nice,” he smiled, “though you also get the other kind. There was a woman I was sent to help once. She had a $100,000 car, and probably $8,000 worth of furs on her back. And there she was on her phone when I pulled up, just screaming at somebody, probably her poor husband.”

    We have more information now than we can use, and less knowledge and understanding than we need. Indeed, we seem to collect information because we have the ability to do so, but we are so busy collecting it that we haven't devised a means of using it. The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.


    Warren Bennis

    Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly be corrupt.

    Do
    not quit! Hundreds of times I have watched people throw in the towel at the one-yard line while someone else comes along and makes a fortune by just going that extra yard.

    You can chase a butterfly all over the field and never catch it. But if you sit quietly in the grass it will come and sit on your shoulder.
