Riding the donkey backwards

It is better to do the wrong thing whole-heartedly than the right thing half-heartedly. Earnestness is the key. “The fool who persists in his folly will become wise,” promised the mystic William Blake.

Help me

We cannot help anyone. The most we can do is create a condition whereby someone is enabled to help himself.

Right action relieves suffering; wrong action intensifies it.

The only devil is dependency.
