A new public opinion must be created privately and unobtrusively................................


The existing one is maintained by the press, by propaganda, by organization, and by financial and other
influences which are at its disposal. ................................................


The unnatural way of spreading ideas must be opposed by the natural one, which goes from man to man
and relies solely on the truth of the thoughts and the hearer's receptiveness for new truth.

Quote for the day:

'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.

If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.


If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'

So, if you give her crap,

you will receive more s**t than any one human being can handle.
