The measure of a man is often how much you can do with what little you are given.
The less you have to begin with, the greater the man you are… to make much of it.
I am amazed at how often men born to wealth and power will make absolutely no use of it.
And I am in awe of those men not so favored by Fate, who nonetheless dig in their heels, refuse to give up, and make greatness from poverty.

That’s the difference between mere opinion and conviction.
Opinions you may occasionally keep to yourself, but convictions are those things you would die for. This is how I feel about the Truth. There are certain things worthy of defending with one’s life.
Men like me used to be called patriots. Now, today’s feminized society refers to us as the fringe. It’s a sad commentary on a society that no longer knows how to rule itself.
